Isolated hypersurface singularities, spectral invariants, and quantum cohomology

We study the relation between isolated hypersurface singularities (e.g., ADE) and the quantum cohomology ring by using spectral invariants, which are symplectic measurements coming from Floer theory. We prove, under the assumption that the quantum cohomology ring is semi-simple, that (1) if the smooth Fano variety degenerates to a Fano variety with an isolated hypersurface singularity, then the singularity has to be an -singularity, (2) if the symplectic manifold contains an -configuration of Lagrangian spheres, then there are consequences for the Hofer geometry, and that (3) the Dehn twist reduces spectral invariants.
