Properties of The Small Quantum Cup Product
For a, b of pure degree,
and
The small quantum cup product is distributive and Λ-bilinear. The identity element is also the identity element for small quantum cohomology.
The small quantum cup product is also associative. This is a consequence of the gluing law for Gromov-Witten invariants, a difficult technical result. It is tantamount to the fact that the Gromov-Witten potential (a generating function for the genus-0 Gromov-Witten invariants) satisfies a certain third-order differential equation known as the WDVV equation.
An intersection pairing
is defined by
(The subscripts 0 indicate the A = 0 coefficient.) This pairing satisfies the associativity property

“A drop of water has the properties of the sea, but cannot exhibit a storm. There is beauty of a concert, as well as of a flute; strength of a host, as well as of a hero.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)

“Small things have a way of overmastering the great.... This small press can destroy a kingdom.”

“The receipt to make a speaker, and an applauded one too, is short and easy.—Take of common sense quantum sufficit, add a little application to the rules and orders of the House, throw obvious thoughts in a new light, and make up the whole with a large quantity of purity, correctness, and elegancy of style.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“There is not enough exercise in this way of life. I try to make up by active gymnastics before I dress when I get up, by walking rapidly in the lower hall and the greenhouse after each meal for perhaps five to ten minutes, and a good hand rubbing before going to bed. I eat moderately; drink one cup of coffee at breakfast and one cup of tea at lunch and no other stimulant. My health is now, and usually, excellent.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“These facts have always suggested to man the sublime creed that the world is not the product of manifold power, but of one will, of one mind; and that one mind is everywhere active, in each ray of the star, in each wavelet of the pool; and whatever opposes that will is everywhere balked and baffled, because things are made so, and not otherwise.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
