Abstract

Given a Schubert class on Gr(k,V)Gr(k,V) where VV is a symplectic vector space of dimension 2n2n, we consider its restriction to the symplectic Grassmannian SpGr(k,V)SpGr(k,V) of isotropic subspaces. Pragacz gave tableau formulae for positively computing the expansion of these H(Gr(k,V))H^*(Gr(k,V)) classes into Schubert classes of the target when k=nk=n, which corresponds to expanding Schur polynomials into QQ-Schur polynomials. Coskun described an algorithm for their expansion when knk\leq n. We give a puzzle-based formula for these expansions, while extending them to equivariant cohomology. We make use of a new observation that usual Grassmannian puzzle pieces are already enough to do some 22-step Schubert calculus, and apply techniques from quantum integrable systems (``scattering diagrams'').
