Supports of Castelnuovo-Mumford polynomials

Combinatorics 2026-02-03 v1

Abstract

The Castelnuovo-Mumford polynomials are the maximal degree components of Grothendieck polynomials. The support of each Castelnuovo-Mumford polynomial is conjectured to be M-convex, i.e. the set of integer points of a generalized permutahedron (M\'esz\'aros and St. Dizier, 2020). This conjecture is known to hold in certain special cases but remains open in general. We define new families of permutations whose Castelnuovo-Mumford polynomials we show to have M-convex support. Specifically, we investigate which permutations have Castelnuovo-Mumford polynomials whose supports are the set of integer points in a schubitope.
