Reading Group on Quantization of BCOV and the Higher-Genus B-Model

Givental's quantization of semi-simple Frobenius manifolds

Givental's quantization formula describes higher genus invariants from genus zero data, the Frobenius manifold. I will describe this quantization and state Teleman's result that this quantization actually describes all semisimple cohomological field theories. I will use Gromov-Witten theory of a toric manifold as a main example.
