On the spectral properties of the quantum cohomology of odd quadrics

Abstract

Let $H^\bullet(\mbox{OG})$ be the quantum cohomology (specialized at $q=1$) of the $2n-1$ dimensional quadric $\mbox{OG}$. We will calculate the characteristic polynomial of the linear operators induced by quantum multiplication in $H^\bullet(\mbox{OG})$ and the Frobenius-Perron dimension. We also check that Galkin's lower bound conjecture holds for $\mbox{OG}$.
