Abstract

For G a complex reductive group and X a smooth projective or convex quasi-projective polarized G-variety we construct a formal map in quantum K-theory from the equivariant quantum K-theory QKG(X)QK^G(X) to the quantum K-theory of the git quotient QK(X//G)QK(X//G) assuming the quotient X//GX//G is a smooth Deligne-Mumford stack with projective coarse moduli space. As an example, we give a presentation of the (possibly bulk-shifted) quantum K-theory of any smooth proper toric Deligne-Mumford stack with projective coarse moduli space. We also provide awall-crossing formula for the K-theoretic gauged potential under variation of git quotient, a proof of the invariance of certain K-theoretic Gromov-Witten invariants under (strong) crepant transformation assumptions, and a proof of a version of the abelian non-abelian correspondence.
