The level structure in quantum K-theory and mock theta functions
@article{Ruan2018TheLS, title={The level structure in quantum K-theory and mock theta functions}, author={Yongbin Ruan and Ming Ming Zhang}, journal={arXiv: Algebraic Geometry}, year={2018} }
This is the first in a sequence of papers to develop the theory of levels in quantum K-theory and study its applications. Our main results in this paper are mirror theorems for permutation-equivariant quantum K-theory with level structure. In some of the simplest examples, we see the surprising appearance of Ramanujan's mock theta functions.
