Because of systematic usage of the associativity property of quantum product only a very small and enumerative subset of Gromov-Witten invariants is needed. Then, for these threefolds the Dubrovin conjecture on the semisimplicity of Quantum Cohomology is proven by checking the computed Quantum Cohomology rings and by showing that a smooth Fano threefold $X$ with $b_3(X)=0$ admits a complete exceptional set of the appropriate length.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2004-03-23T15:51:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14N35", "14J45" ], "keywords": [ "smooth fano threefold", "complete exceptional set", "systematic usage", "quantum product", "appropriate length" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2004math......3300C" } } }
