Back Stable Standard Elementary Monomials

Source abstract

We introduce back stable standard elementary monomials and their complete homogeneous analogues. These families form bases of the back stable Schubert ring and record the eventual standard elementary monomial expansions of left-stabilized Schubert polynomials. Dynkin reversal exchanges the two bases while preserving their coefficients. We also show that orbit sums of the back stable coefficients recover the elementary and complete homogeneous coefficients of Stanley symmetric functions. Finally, we study the shifted specialization polynomial $\mathcal{T}_w(t)=\mathfrak{S}_{1^t\times w}(1)$, considered by Fomin and Kirillov, which counts reduced pipe dreams of $1^t\times w$. We express this polynomial in terms of back stable standard elementary monomial coefficients.
