Abstract

In this paper we discuss physical derivations of the quantum K theory rings of symplectic Grassmannians. We compare to standard presentations in terms of Schubert cycles, but most of our work revolves around a proposed description in terms of two other bases, involving shifted Wilson lines and lambda_y classes, which are motivated by and amenable to physics, and which we also provide for ordinary Grassmannians.
