Quantum spectrum and Gamma structure for standard flips

Abstract

We investigate the quantum spectrum and Gamma structure for projective bundles, blow-ups, and standard flips. After restricting the quantum multiplication to the exceptional curve direction, we obtain a decomposition of the quantum cohomology of standard flips into asymptotic Gamma classes. We then show that this decomposition is compatible with the semi-orthogonal decompositions for these spaces constructed in work of Orlov and Belmans-Fu-Raedschelders. The proof involves a sequence of reductions to a local model and the asymptotic behavior of Meijer G-functions.
