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:

    “The world and life’s too big to pass for a dream,”
    —Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    “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)
