Semisimplicity of the quantum cohomology for smooth Fano toric varieties associated with facet symmetric polytopes

Abstract

The degree zero part of the quantum cohomology algebra of a smooth Fano toric symplectic manifold is determined by the superpotential function, $W$, of its moment polytope. In particular, this algebra is semisimple, i.e. splits as a product of fields, if and only if all the critical points of $W$ are non-degenerate. In this paper, we prove that this non-degeneracy holds for all smooth Fano toric varieties with facet-symmetric duals to moment polytopes.
