%0 Journal Article %T Quantum cohomology of complete intersections %A Arnaud Beauville %J Mathematics %D 1995 %I arXiv %X The quantum cohomology algebra of a projective manifold X is the cohomology H(X,Q) endowed with a different algebra structure, which takes into account the geometry of rational curves in X. We show that this algebra takes a remarkably simple form for complete intersections when the dimension is large enough w.r.t. the degree. As a reward we get a number of surprising enumerative formulas relating lines, conics and twisted cubics on X. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/alg-geom/9501008v1
