Abstract

We prove an identity for (torus-equivariant) 3-point, genus 0, KK-theoretic Gromov-Witten invariants of flag manifolds G/PG/P, which can be thought of as a replacement for the ``divisor axiom'' in their (torus-equivariant) quantum KK-theory. This identity enables us to compute these invariants when two insertions are Schubert classes and the other a Schubert divisor class. Our type-independent proof utilizes the Chevalley formula for the (torus-equivariant) quantum KK-theory ring of flag manifolds, which computes multiplications by Schubert divisor classes in terms of the quantum Bruhat graph.
