Included are the well-studied bases of Schubert polynomials, Demazure characters and Demazure atoms; the quasi-key, fundamental and monomial slide bases introduced in 2017 by Assaf and the author; and a new basis we introduce completing this poset structure. We show the product of a Schur polynomial and an element of a basis in this poset expands positively in that basis; in particular, we give the first Littlewood-Richardson rule for the product of a Schur polynomial and a quasi-key polynomial. This rule simultaneously extends Haglund, Luoto, Mason and van Willigenburg's (2011) Littlewood-Richardson rule for quasi-Schur polynomials and refines their Littlewood-Richardson rule for Demazure characters. We also establish bijections connecting combinatorial models for these polynomials including semi-skyline fillings and quasi-key tableaux.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-07-04T22:57:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05E05", "05E10" ], "keywords": [ "polynomial bases", "schur multiplication", "littlewood-richardson rule", "demazure characters", "schur polynomial" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 23, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
