$q$-Hypergeometric solutions of quantum differential equations, quantum Pieri rules, and Gamma theorem

We describe \,$q$-hypergeometric solutions of the equivariant quantum differential equations and associated qKZ difference equations for the cotangent bundle $T^*F_\lambda$ of a partial flag variety \,$F_\lambda$\,. These \,$q$-hypergeometric solutions manifest a Landau-Ginzburg mirror symmetry for the cotangent bundle. We formulate and prove Pieri rules for quantum equivariant cohomology of the cotangent bundle. Our Gamma theorem for \,$T^*F_\lambda$ \,says that the leading term of the asymptotics of the \,$q$-hypergeometric solutions can be written as the equivariant Gamma class of the tangent bundle of $T^*F_\lambda$ multiplied by the exponentials of the equivariant first Chern classes of the associated vector bundles. That statement is analogous to the statement of the gamma conjecture by B.\,Dubrovin and by S.\,Galkin, V.\,Golyshev, and H.\,Iritani, see also the Gamma theorem for \,$F_\lambda$ \,in Appendix B.
