Abstract:
We compute the quantum cohomology rings of the partial flag manifolds
. The inductive computation uses the idea of Givental and Kim 1]. Also we define a notion of the vertical quantum cohomology ring of the algebraic bundle. For the flag bundle
(E) associated with the vector bundleE this ring is found.
