Abstract: We enumerate staircases with fixed left and right columns. These objects correspond to ice-configurations, or alternating sign matrices, with fixed top and bottom parts. The resulting partition functions are equal, up to a normalization factor, to some Schubert polynomials.

Review text

A \textit{staircase} is a semi-standard Young tableau with column lengths \(k,k-1,\ldots,k-r\) in which the entries, in addition to being decreasing down columns and weekly increasing in rows, are weekly decreasing on NW-SE diagonals. Staircases arise in the Ehresmann-Bruhat order on the symmetric group [\textit{A. Lascoux} and \textit{M. P. Schützenberger}, Electron. J. Comb. 3, No.~2, Research paper R27, 35 p. (1996); printed version J. Comb. 3, No.~2, 633--667 (1996; Zbl 0885.05111)] The authors give a weighted enumeration of staircases with fixed left and right columns; these correspond to square-ice, or alternating sign matrices with fixed top and bottom parts. For staircases with first column 1 to \(n\), or last column empty (corresponding to alternating sign matrices fixed only at the top, or only at the bottom), the enumerator is the product of a monomial and a Schubert polynomial; in general, up to a normalization factor, it is the product of a monomial and a determinant of skew Schur functions.
