Rational connectedness implies finiteness of quantum $K$-theory

International audienceLet X be any generalized flag variety with Picard group of rank one. Given a degree d, consider the Gromov-Witten variety of rational curves of degree d in X that meet three general points. We prove that, if this Gromov-Witten variety is rationally connected for all large degrees d, then the structure constants of the small quantum K-theory ring of X vanish for large degrees
