Puzzles in $K$-homology of Grassmannians

Combinatorics 2020-01-08 v1

Abstract

Knutson, Tao, and Woodward formulated a Littlewood-Richardson rule for the cohomology ring of Grassmannians in terms of puzzles. Vakil and Wheeler-Zinn-Justin have found additional triangular puzzle pieces that allow one to express structure constants for KK-theory of Grassmannians. Here we introduce two other puzzle pieces of hexagonal shape, each of which gives a Littlewood-Richardson rule for KK-homology of Grassmannians. We also explore the corresponding eight versions of KK-theoretic Littlewood-Richardson tableaux.
