Abstract

Let 1\bigwedge_1 and 2\bigwedge_2 be two symmetric function algebras in independent sets of variables. We define vector space bases of 1Z2\bigwedge_1 \otimes_\mathbb{Z} \bigwedge_2 coming from certain quivers, with vertex sets indexed by pairs of partitions. We use these vector space bases to give a positive tableau formula for Littlewood--Richardson coefficients for the product of Schubert polynomials with certain Schur polynomials in two-step flag varieties, in the spirit of the Remmel-Whitney rule for the product of two Schur polynomials in Grassmannians. This in particular covers the cases considered by the Pieri rule.
