Abstract: Gromov-Witten invariants of a given Kahler target space are defined as suitable intersection numbers in moduli spaces of stable maps of complex curves into the target space. Their K-theoretic analogues are defined as holomorphic Euler characteristics of suitable vector bundles over these moduli spaces. We will describe how the Kawasaki-Riemann-Roch theorem expressing holomorphic Euler characteristics in cohomological terms leads to the adelic formulas for generating functions encoding K-theoretic Gromov-Witten invariants.
