Skew divided difference operators in the Nichols algebra associated to a finite Coxeter group

Abstract: Let

(W, S)

be a finite Coxeter system with root system

R

and with set of positive roots

R^{+}

. For

a l p h a i n R

,

v, w i n W

, we denote by

p a r t i a l_{a} l p h a

,

p a r t i a l_{w}

and

p a r t i a l_{w / v}

the divided difference operators and skew divided difference operators acting on the coinvariant algebra of

W

. Generalizing the work of Liu, we prove that

p a r t i a l_{w / v}

can be written as a polynomial with nonnegative coefficients in

p a r t i a l_{a} l p h a

where

a l p h a i n R^{+}

. In fact, we prove the stronger and analogous statement in the Nichols-Woronowicz algebra model for Schubert calculus on

W

after Bazlov. We draw consequences of this theorem on saturated chains in the Bruhat order, and partially treat the question when

p a r t i a l_{w / v}

can be written as a monomial in

p a r t i a l_{a} l p h a

where

a l p h a i n R^{+}

. In an appendix, we study related combinatorics on shuffle elements and Bruhat intervals of length two.
