Complements of Schubert polynomials
Abstract
Let be the Schubert polynomial for a permutation of . For any given composition , we say that is the complement of with respect to . When each part of is equal to , Huh, Matherne, M\'esz\'aros and St.\,Dizier proved that the normalization of is a Lorentzian polynomial. They further conjectured that the normalization of is Lorentzian. It can be shown that if there exists a composition such that is a Schubert polynomial, then the normalization of will be Lorentzian. This motivates us to investigate the problem of when is a Schubert polynomial. We show that if is a Schubert polynomial, then must be a partition. We also consider the case when is the staircase partition , and obtain that is a Schubert polynomial if and only if avoids the patterns 132 and 312. A conjectured characterization of when is a Schubert polynomial is proposed.
