Title: Quantum Adams operations and quasi maps

Abstract: There have been intensive activities concerning quantum Steenrod operations recently. In this talk, I will discuss the K-theoretic counterpart of quantum deformations of cohomological power operations in the setting of quasimap counts of holomorphic symplectic reductions. Its relationship with the analogue of p-curvature in the q-difference settings has a satisfactory explanation. Time permitting, I will also indicate its role in 3D mirror symmetry. This is joint work with Jae Hee Lee.
