Abstract

This is the first in a sequence of papers to develop the theory of levels in quantum K-theory and study its applications. Our main results in this paper are toric mirror theorems for permutation-equivariant quantum K-theory with level structure. In some of the simplest examples, we see the surprising appearance of Ramanujan's mock theta functions.
