Weak Bruhat interval modules of the 0-Hecke algebras for stable Grothendieck polynomials

Source abstract

For a partition $λ$, let $G_λ^{(β)}$ be the stable $β$-Grothendieck polynomial attached to $λ$. Each homogeneous component of the $β= 1$ specialization $G_λ^{(1)}$ is Schur-positive and hence positive in the fundamental basis of quasisymmetric functions. For $m\ge|λ|$, let $G_{λ,m}^{(1)}$ be the homogeneous degree $m$ component of $G_λ^{(1)}$. In this paper, we first give a direct proof of an expansion of $G_{λ,m}^{(1)}$ in the fundamental basis in terms of standard set-valued tableaux. We then use these tableaux as a basis to define a module of the $0$-Hecke algebra and show that the quasisymmetric characteristic of the resulting module is $G_{λ,m}^{(1)}$. We further show that this module decomposes as a direct sum of weak Bruhat interval modules.
