Pragacz gave tableau formulae for positively computing the expansion of these $H^*(Gr(k,V))$ classes into Schubert classes of the target when $k=n$, which corresponds to expanding Schur polynomials into $Q$-Schur polynomials. Coskun described an algorithm for their expansion when $k\\leq n$. We give a puzzle-based formula for these expansions, while extending them to equivariant cohomology. We make use of a new observation that usual Grassmannian puzzle pieces are already enough to do some $2$-step Schubert calculus, and apply techniques from quantum integrable systems (``scattering diagrams'').", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2019-04-13T03:28:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14M15", "05E10" ], "keywords": [ "restricting schubert classes", "symplectic grassmannian", "self-dual puzzles", "usual grassmannian puzzle pieces", "pragacz gave tableau formulae" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
