Covariant constancy of quantum Steenrod operations

Abstract

We prove a relationship between quantum Steenrod operations and the quantum connection. In particular there are operations extending the quantum Steenrod power operations that, when viewed as endomorphisms of equivariant quantum cohomology, are covariantly constant. We demonstrate how this property is used in computations of examples.
