In this paper we discuss physical derivations of the quantum K theory rings of symplectic Grassmannians. We compare to standard presentations in terms of Schubert cycles, but most of our work revolves around a proposed description in terms of two other bases, involving shifted Wilson lines and lambda_y classes, which are motivated by and amenable to physics, and which we also provide for ordinary Grassmannians.

We study the algebra of Wilson line operators in three-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric U(M) gauge theories with a Higgs phase related to a complex Grassmannian Gr(M,N), and its connection to K-theoretic Gromov-Witten invariants for Gr(M,N). For different Chern-Simons levels, the Wilson loop algebra realizes either the quantum cohomology of Gr(M,N), isomorphic to the Verlinde algebra for U(M), or the quantum K-theoretic ring of Schubert structure sheaves studied by mathematicians, or closely related algebras.
We provide a characterization of Symplectic Grassmannians in terms of their Varieties of Minimal Rational Tangents.
In this paper we study the quantum sheaf cohomology of Grassmannians with deformations of the tangent bundle. Quantum sheaf cohomology is a (0,2) deformation of the ordinary quantum cohomology ring, realized as the OPE ring in A/2-twisted theories. Quantum sheaf cohomology has previously been computed for abelian gauged linear sigma models (GLSMs); here, we study (0,2) deformations of nonabelian GLSMs, for which previous methods have been intractable. Combined with the classical result, the quantum ring structure is derived from the one-loop effective potential. We also utilize recent advances in supersymmetric localization to compute A/2 correlation functions and check the general result in examples. In this paper we focus on physics derivations and examples; in a companion paper, we will provide a mathematically rigorous derivation of the classical sheaf cohomology ring.
The disk partition function of certain 3d N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories computes a quantum K-theoretic ring for Kahler manifolds X. We study the 3d gauge theory/quantum K-theory correspondence for global and local Calabi-Yau manifolds with several Kahler moduli. We propose a multi-cover formula that relates the 3d BPS world-volume degeneracies computed by quantum K-theory to Gopakumar-Vafa invariants.
The 2d gauged linear sigma model (GLSM) gives a UV model for quantum cohomology on a Kahler manifold X, which is reproduced in the IR limit. We propose and explore a 3d lift of this correspondence, where the UV model is the N=2 supersymmetric 3d gauge theory and the IR limit is given by Giventals permutation equivariant quantum K-theory on X. This gives a one-parameter deformation of the 2d GLSM/quantum cohomology correspondence and recovers it in a small radius limit. We study some novelties of the 3d case regarding integral BPS invariants, chiral rings, deformation spaces and mirror symmetry.
