Combinatorics 2022-02-22 v2

Abstract

Schubert polynomials Sw\mathfrak{S}_w are polynomial representatives for cohomology classes of Schubert varieties in a complete flag variety, while Grothendieck polynomials Gw\mathfrak{G}_w are analogous representatives for the KK-theory classes of the structure sheaves of Schubert varieties. In the special case that Sw\mathfrak{S}_w is a multiplicity-free sum of monomials, K. M\'esz\'aros, L. Setiabrata, and A. St. Dizier conjectured that Gw\mathfrak{G}_w can be easily computed from Sw\mathfrak{S}_w via M\"obius inversion on a certain poset. We prove this conjecture.
