Rationality of some Gromov-Witten varieties and application to quantum K-theory

We show that for any minuscule or cominuscule homogeneous space X, the Gromov-Witten varieties of degree d curves passing through three general points of X are rational or empty for any d. Applying techniques of A. Buch and L. Mihalcea to constructions of the authors together with L. Manivel, we deduce that the equivariant K-theoretic three points Gromov-Witten invariants are equal to classical equivariant K-theoretic invariants on auxilliary spaces.
