Quantum Cohomology - Big Quantum Cohomology

Big Quantum Cohomology

There exists a neighborhood U of 0 ∈ H such that and the Dubrovin connection give U the structure of a Frobenius manifold. Any a in U defines a quantum cup product

by the formula

Collectively, these products on H are called the big quantum cohomology. All of the genus-0 Gromov-Witten invariants are recoverable from it; in general, the same is not true of the simpler small quantum cohomology.

Famous quotes containing the words big and/or quantum:

    Tom: All right, boys. C’mon. Why don’t you say I’m a yellow belly and a big mouth at that?
    Shep: You yellow? Who thinks you’re yellow? Did you hear what he said? A guy who’s got the nerve to marry? That’s more than Flash Gordon ever did.
    Billy Wilder (b. 1906)

    But how is one to make a scientist understand that there is something unalterably deranged about differential calculus, quantum theory, or the obscene and so inanely liturgical ordeals of the precession of the equinoxes.
    Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
