The Schubert calculus of decomposable permutations (Q1921476)

The concatenation product of permutations enjoys many nice properties with respect to the Schubert calculus; that is, from a combinatorial point of view, with respect to the Lascoux-Schützenberger calculus of Schubert polynomials. We give explicit formulas for the product of the Schubert cycles (resp. polynomials) which are associated to the corresponding permutations with general Schubert cycles (resp. polynomials). Those formulas complete the partial known results about the combinatorics of intersection products on flag manifolds (Monk's formula, generalized Pieri formula of Lascoux and Schützenberger, some properties of vexillary permutations).
