The Quantum Lefschetz Principle for Vector Bundles as a Map Between Givental Cones

Abstract

Givental has defined a Lagrangian cone in a symplectic vector space which encodes all genus-zero Gromov-Witten invariants of a smooth projective variety X. Let Y be the subvariety in X given by the zero locus of a regular section of a convex vector bundle. We review arguments of Iritani, Kim-Kresch-Pantev, and Graber, which give a very simple relationship between the Givental cone for Y and the Givental cone for Euler-twisted Gromov-Witten invariants of X. When the convex vector bundle is the direct sum of nef line bundles, this gives a sharper version of the Quantum Lefschetz Hyperplane Principle.
