K-theoretic crystals for set-valued tableaux of rectangular shapes

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In earlier work with C.~Monical, we introduced the notion of a K-crystal, with applications to K-theoretic Schubert calculus and the study of Lascoux polynomials. We conjectured that such a K-crystal structure existed on the set of semistandard set-valued tableaux of any fixed rectangular shape. Here, we establish this conjecture by explicitly constructing the K-crystal operators. As a consequence, we establish the first combinatorial formula for Lascoux polynomials Lwlambda when lambda is a multiple of a fundamental weight as the sum over flagged set-valued tableaux. Using this result, we then prove corresponding cases of conjectures of Ross--Yong (2015) and Monical (2016) by constructing bijections with the respective combinatorial objects.


The authors and \textit{C. Monical} [Sémin. Lothar. Comb. 82B, 82B.27, 12 p. (2019; Zbl 1436.05131)] introduced the notion of \(K\)-crystals, which are \(K\)-theory analogs of crystals with the enriched property that their associated Lascoux polynomials appear as the characters of a \(K\)-theoretic analogs of Demazure subcrystals. In [loc. cit.], it was conjectured \(K\)-crystals exist for all rectangular shapes and this article proves that result. In proving this conjecture, the authors provide the first combinatorial formula for the Lascoux polynomials that arise. In particular, their formula is a sum over flagged set-valued tableaux, which are indexed by a weight in the Weyl group orbit of a multiple of a fundamental weight, i.e., a rectangular shape partition. Additionally, the authors use their formula to prove conjectures by \textit{C. Ross} and \textit{A. Yong} [Sémin. Lothar. Comb. 74, B74a, 11 p. (2015; Zbl 1328.05200)] and \textit{C. Monical} [Sémin. Lothar. Comb. 78B, 78B.35, 12 p. (2017; Zbl 1384.05160)], which present combinatorial interpretation of Lascoux polynomials for rectangular shapes.
