Twisted K-theoretic Gromov-Witten invariants

Understand

We introduce twisted K-theoretic Gromov-Witten invariants - in the frameworks of both "ordinary" and permutation-equivariant K-theoretic GW theory defined recently by Givental.

• We focus on the case when the twisting is given by the Euler class - we characterize in both cases the range of the $J$-function of the twisted theory in terms of the untwisted theory.
• As applications we use the D_q module structure in the permutation-equivariant case to generalize results of Givental: we prove a "quantum Lefschetz" type theorem and we relate points on the cones of the total space with those of the base of a toric fibration.
