Abstract: The aim of Part II is to explore the technique of invariance of tautological equations in the realm of Gromov-Witten theory. The relationship between Gromov-Witten theory and the tautological rings of the moduli of curves is studied from Givental's point of view via deformation theory of semisimple axiomatic Gromov-Witten theory.
