On D. Peterson's presentation of quantum cohomology of $G/P$

Abstract

We prove in full generality that the $T$-equivariant quantum cohomology of any flag variety $G/P$ is isomorphic to the coordinate ring of a stratum of the Peterson scheme associated to the Langlands dual group scheme $G^{\vee }$. This result was discovered by Dale Peterson but remains unpublished. Our isomorphism is constructed using Yun-Zhu's isomorphism and Peterson-Lam-Shimozono's homomorphism.
