Description
K-theoretic Gromov--Witteh (KGW) theory was introduced by Givental and Y.P. Lee as a generalization of Gromov--Witten theory. Recently, Givental realised that if we want to compute KGW invariants via fixed-point localization methods, we have to consider a more general theory, i.e., the permutation equivariant version of KGW theory. I would like to give an introduction to this topic and to explain how to compute the invariants in genus-0 for the simplest possible target -- the point.
