Quantum D-modules and equivariant Floer theory for free loop spaces
The objective of this paper is to clarify the relationships between the
quantum D-module and equivariant Floer theory. Equivariant Floer theory was
introduced by Givental in his paper ``Homological Geometry''. He conjectured
that the quantum D-module of a symplectic manifold is isomorphic to the
equivariant Floer cohomology for the universal cover of the free loop space.
First, motivated by the work of Guest, we formulate the notion of ``abstract
quantum D-module''which generalizes the D-module defined by the small quantum
cohomology algebra. Second, we define the equivariant Floer cohomology of toric
complete intersections rigorously as a D-module, using Givental's model. This
is shown to satisfy the axioms of abstract quantum D-module. By Givental's
mirror theorem, it follows that equivariant Floer cohomology defined here is
isomorphic to the quantum cohomology D-module.Comment: 37 pages, the original version was written in June,2003, v2 added

Quantum D-modules and generalized mirror transformations
In the previous paper, the author defined equivariant Floer cohomology for a
complete intersection in a toric variety and showed that it is isomorphic to
the small quantum D-module after a mirror transformation when the first Chern
class c_1(M) of the tangent bundle is nef. In this paper, even when c_1(M) is
not nef, we show that the equivariant Floer cohomology reconstructs the big
quantum D-module under certain conditions on the ambient toric variety. The
proof is based on a mirror theorem by Coates and Givental. The reconstruction
procedure here gives a generalized mirror transformation first observed by
Jinzenji in low degrees.Comment: 54 pages; v2: corrected typos; v3: added reference; v4: corrected
