We conjecture that the exponents of nonzero terms of the Grothendieck polynomial $\\mathfrak{G}_w$ form a poset under componentwise comparison that is isomorphic to an induced subposet of $\\mathbb{Z}^n$. When $w\\in S_n$ avoids a certain set of patterns, we conjecturally connect the coefficients of $\\mathfrak{G}_w$ with the M\\\"obius function values of the aforementioned poset with $\\hat{0}$ appended. We prove special cases of our conjectures for Grassmannian and fireworks permutations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-01-24T04:41:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05E05" ], "keywords": [ "grothendieck polynomial", "special cases", "function values", "k-theoretic classes", "nonzero terms" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
