Combinatorial aspects of the \(K\)-theory of Grassmannians (Q1977732)

Schubert polynomials are explicit representatives for Schubert classes in the cohomology ring of a flag variety. Those of type \(A_n\) were introduced by \textit{A. Lascoux} and \textit{M.-P. Schützenberger} [Polynômes de Schubert, C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris, Sér. I 294, 447-450 (1982; Zbl 0495.14031)]. The \(K\)-theory of flag varieties, which is the next level of complexity after singular cohomology in encoding the topological structure of these varieties, leads to a generalization of the Schubert calculus. The analogs of Schubert polynomials, as representatives for the \(K\)-theory classes determined by the structure sheaves of Schubert varieties, are the Grothendieck polynomials which where introduced by \textit{A. Lascoux} and \textit{M.-P. Schützenberger} [Symmetry and flag manifolds, Lect. Notes Math. 996, 118-144 (1983; Zbl 0542.14031)]. In the paper under review Grothendieck polynomials indexed by Grassmannian permutations are studied. Transition matrices between these polynomials and Schur polynomials are given. Moreover, a Pieri formula for the Grothendieck polynomials indexed by Grassmannian permutations is given.
