A Molev-Sagan type formula for double Schubert polynomials
Abstract
We give a Molev-Sagan type formula for computing the product of two double Schubert polynomials in different sets of coefficient variables where the descents of and satisfy certain conditions that encompass Molev and Sagan's original case and conjecture positivity in the general case. Additionally, we provide a Pieri formula for multiplying an arbitrary double Schubert polynomial by a factorial elementary symmetric polynomial . Both formulas remain positive in terms of the negative roots when we set , so in particular this gives a new equivariant Littlewood-Richardson rule for the Grassmannian, and more generally a positive formula for multiplying a factorial Schur polynomial by a double Schubert polynomial such that . An additional new result we present is a combinatorial proof of a conjecture of Kirillov of nonnegativity of the coefficients of skew Schubert polynomials, and we conjecture a weight-preserving bijection between a modification of certain diagrams used in our formulas and RC-graphs/pipe dreams arising in formulas for double Schubert polynomials.
