The Sperner property for $132$-avoiding intervals in the weak order
Abstract
A well-known result of Stanley from 1980 implies that the weak order on a maximal parabolic quotient of the symmetric group has the Sperner property; this same property was recently established for the weak order on all of by Gaetz and Gao, resolving a long-open problem. In this paper we interpolate between these results by showing that the weak order on any parabolic quotient of (and more generally on any -avoiding interval) has the Sperner property. This result is proven by exhibiting an action of respecting the weak order on these intervals. As a corollary we obtain a new formula for principal specializations of Schubert polynomials. Our formula can be seen as a strong Bruhat order analogue of Macdonald's reduced word formula. This proof technique and formula generalize work of Hamaker, Pechenik, Speyer, and Weigandt and Gaetz and Gao.
