This article deals with the quantum cohomology ring of \(\mathbb P(E)\) where \(E\) is a Fano bundle which is a direct sum of line bundles over \(\mathbb P^{n_1}\times \mathbb P^{n_2}\cdots \times \mathbb P^{n_s}\). Fano bundle means that \(\mathbb P(E)\) is a Fano manifold, i.e., the negative of its canonical line bundle is ample. The authors formulate a conjecture for the presentation of its quantum cohomology ring in terms of generators and relations. Under certain numerical conditions on the line bundles involved in defining \(E\) they are able to prove the conjecture to be true. The conjecture generalizes a conjecture of Batyrev (\(s=1\)). In this case it was proved by \textit{Z. Qin} and \textit{Y. Ruan} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 350, No. 9, 3615-3638 (1998; Zbl 0932.14030)], again under some numerical conditions on the line bundles involved. The article under review starts with determining when \(\mathbb P(E)\) is a Fano manifold. This is followed by a calculation of extremal rays. Some Gromov-Witten invariants are computed. The assumed numerical conditions guarantee that the ``quantum corrections (defining the deformed product) come only from homology classes which generate the extremal rays. The article closes with additional examples supporting the conjecture.
