Let $v(n)$ be the largest principal specialization of Schubert polynomials for layered permutations $v(n) := \max_{w \in \mathcal{L}_n} \mathfrak{S}_w(1,\ldots,1)$. Morales, Pak and Panova proved that there is a limit \[\lim_{n \to \infty}…

We present computational results on principal specializations $\mathfrak{S}_w(1^n)$ of Schubert polynomials, which count reduced pipe dreams and reduced bumpless pipe dreams (RBPD). We find the first counterexample, at $n=17$, to the…

We show that the principal specialization of the Schubert polynomial at $w$ is bounded below by $1+p_{132}(w)+p_{1432}(w)$ where $p_u(w)$ is the number of occurrences of the pattern $u$ in $w$, strengthening a previous result by A.…

We find a layered permutation $w\in S_n$ whose Schubert polynomial $\mathfrak S_w(x_1, \dots, x_n)$ has support of size asymptotically at least $n!/4^n$. This gives precise asymptotics for the growth rate of $\beta(n):= \max_{w\in…

This paper investigates the number of supports of the Schubert polynomial $\mathfrak{S}_w(x)$ indexed by a permutation $w$. This number also equals the number of lattice points in the Newton polytope of $\mathfrak{S}_w(x)$. We establish a…

There has been recent interest in lower bounds for the principal specializations of Schubert polynomials $\nu_w := \mathfrak S_w(1,\dots,1)$. We prove a conjecture of Yibo Gao in the setting of $1243$-avoiding permutations that gives a…

For a permutation $u\in S_n$, let $N\ast u\in S_{Nn}$ be the permutation with scaled Lehmer code. For given $u,v,w\in S_n$ and integer $N$, the stretched Schubert coefficients are defined as $f_{u,v,w}(N):=c_{N*u,N*v}^{N*w}$. Our main…

We give an explicit combinatorial description of the irreducible components of the singular locus of the Schubert variety X_w for any element w in S_n. Our description of the irreducible components is computationally more efficient (O(n^6))…

We study the problem of expanding the product of two Stanley symmetric functions $F_w\cdot F_u$ into Stanley symmetric functions in some natural way. Our approach is to consider a Stanley symmetric function as a stabilized Schubert…

Motivated by a recent conjecture of R. P. Stanley we offer a lower bound for the sum of the coefficients of a Schubert polynomial in terms of $132$-pattern containment.

For a permutation $\pi$, let $S_{n}(\pi)$ be the number of permutations on $n$ letters avoiding $\pi$. Marcus and Tardos proved the celebrated Stanley-Wilf conjecture that $L(\pi)= \lim_{n \to \infty} S_n(\pi)^{1/n}$ exists and is finite.…

Motivated by Stanley's ``Schubert shenanigans'' paper, commendable attempts have been made to understand the principal specializations of Schubert or Grothendieck polynomials. In this paper, we prove that when a permutation $w$ does not…

Let w_0 denote the permutation [n,n-1,...,2,1]. We give two new explicit formulae for the Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials P_{w_0w,w_0x} in S_n when x is a maximal element in the singular locus of the Schubert variety X_w. To do this, we utilize…

Let $w$ be a permutation of $\{1,2,\ldots,n \}$, and let $D(w)$ be the Rothe diagram of $w$. The Schubert polynomial $\mathfrak{S}_w(x)$ can be realized as the dual character of the flagged Weyl module associated to $D(w)$. This implies a…

A permutation is layered if it contains neither 231 nor 312 as a pattern. It is known that, if $\sigma$ is a layered permutation, then the density of $\sigma$ in a permutation of order $n$ is maximized by a layered permutation. Albert,…

Schur polynomials are special cases of Schubert polynomials, which in turn are special cases of dual characters of flagged Weyl modules. The principal specialization of Schur and Schubert polynomials has a long history, with Macdonald…

Let u(n) be the n-th term of a Lucas sequence or a Lehmer sequence.In this article we shall establish an estimate from below for the greatest prime factor of u(n) which is of the form nexp(logn/104loglogn). In so doing we are able to…

We give a criterion for a collection of polynomials to be a universal Gr\"{o}bner basis for an ideal in terms of the multidegree of the closure of the corresponding affine variety in $(\mathbb{P}^1)^N$. This criterion can be used to give…

There is a remarkable formula for the principal specialization of a type A Schubert polynomial as a weighted sum over reduced words. Taking appropriate limits transforms this to an identity for the backstable Schubert polynomials recently…

We compute the expansion of the cohomology class of the permutahedral variety in the basis of Schubert classes. The resulting structure constants $a_w$ are expressed as a sum of \emph{normalized} mixed Eulerian numbers indexed naturally by…
