Abstract

In this paper we prove the invariance of quantum rings for general ordinary flops, whose local models are certain non-split toric bundles over arbitrary smooth bases. An essential ingredient in the proof is a quantum splitting principle which reduces a statement in Gromov–Witten theory on non-split bundles to the case of split bundles.
