DESCRIPTION:The Steenrod square is a ring homomorphism from the cohomology
  of a topological space to the Z/2-equivariant cohomology of this space (w
 ith the trivial Z/2-action). Given a closed monotone symplectic manifold\,
  we will define a deformed notion of the Steenrod square for quantum cohom
 ology\, which will not in general be a ring homomorphism\, and prove the q
 uantum Cartan formula as a deformation of the classical Cartan formula. Ti
 me permitting\, we will frame these in the broader setting of Seidel’s e
 quivariant pair-of-pants product.
