Abstract: Given a holomorphic vector bundle E:EXX over a compact K"ahler manifold, one introduces twisted GW-invariants of X replacing virtual fundamental cycles of moduli spaces of stable maps f:SigmaoX by their cap-product with a chosen multiplicative characteristic class of H0(Sigma,fE)H1(Sigma,fE). Using the formalism of quantized quadratic hamiltonians, we express the descendent potential for the twisted theory in terms of that for X. The result (Theorem 1) is a consequence of Mumford's Riemann -- Roch -- Grothendieck formula applied to the universal stable map. When E is concave, and the inverse CCimes-equivariant Euler class is chosen, the twisted theory yields GW-invariants of EX. The ``non-linear Serre duality principle expresses GW-invariants of EX via those of the supermanifold PiEX, where the Euler class and E replace the inverse Euler class and E. We derive from Theorem 1 the nonlinear Serre duality in a very general form (Corollary 2). When the bundle E is convex, and a submanifold YsubsetX is defined by a global section, the genus 0 GW-invariants of PiEX coincide with those of Y. We prove a ``quantum Lefschetz hyperplane section principle (Theorem 2) expressing genus 0 GW-invariants of a complete intersection Y via those of X. This extends earlier results of Y.-P. Lee and A. Gathmann and yields most of the known mirror formulas for toric complete intersections.
