We show that if a semipositive symplectic manifold M 2n is Steenrod uniruled, in the sense that the quantum Steenrod power of the point class does not agree with its classical Steenrod power for infinitely many primes, then the (rational) quantum product on M is deformed. This bridges the gap between the recent advances towards the Chance-McDuff conjecture utilizing quantum Steenrod operations, and the natural formulation of the Chance-McDuff conjecture in terms of rational Gromov-Witten theory.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
