Quantum flips I: local model

Abstract: We study analytic continuations of quantum cohomology under simple flips

f : X d a s h r i g h t a r r o w X^{'}

along the extremal ray quantum variable

q^{e} l l

. The inverse correspondence

P s i = [G a m m a_{f}]^{*}

by the graph closure gives an embedding of Chow motives

[h a t X^{'}] h o o k r i g h t a r r o w [h a t X]

which preserves the Poincar'e pairing. We construct a deformation

w i d e h a t P s i

of

P s i = [G a m m a_{f}]^{*}

which induces a non-linear embedding

QH(X') hookrightarrow QH(X)

in the category of

F

-manifolds into the regular integrable loci of

Q H (X)

near

q^{e} l l = i n f t y

. This provides examples of functoriality of quantum cohomology beyond

K

-equivalent transformations. In this paper, we focus on the case when

X

and

X^{'}

are (projective) local models.
