Abstract

We continue our study of the genus-00 permutation-equivariant quantum K-theory of the target X=ptX=pt, and completely determine the "big J-function" of this theory. The computation is based on the application of Lefschetz' fixed point formula to the action of SnS_n on M0,n+1\overline{M}_{0,n+1}. It is an instance of the general "adelic characterization" (which we state at the end with reference to arXiv:1106.3136) of quantum K-theory for any target XX in terms of quantum cohomology theory. Yet, some simplifications of non-conceptual nature occur in this example, making it a lucid illustration to the general theory.
