Some Schubert shenanigans

Abstract

We give a conjectured evaluation of the determinant of a certain matrix D~(n,k)\tilde{D}(n,k). The entries of D~(n,k)\tilde{D}(n,k) are either 0 or specializations Sw(1,,1)\mathfrak{S}_w(1,\dots,1) of Schubert polynomials. The conjecture implies that the weak order of the symmetric group SnS_n has the strong Sperner property. A number of peripheral results and problems are also discussed.
