Schubert polynomials and quiver formulas (Q707485)

\textit{A. Skovsted Buch} and \textit{W. Fulton} [Invent. Math. 135, No. 3, 665--687 (1999; Zbl 0942.14027)] gave a formula for a general kind of degeneracy locus associated to an oriented Type A quiver. This formula involves Schur determinants and the quiver coefficients which generalize the classical Littlewood-Richardson coefficients. In the paper under review, the authors give a positive combinatorial formula for the quiver coefficients when the rank conditions defining the degeneracy locus are given by a permutation. As applications, one obtains new expansions for Fulton's universal Schubert polynomials, Schubert polynomials of Lascoux-Schützenberger, and explicit Giambelli formulas in the classical and quantum cohomology ring of any partial flag variety.
