Kohnert's conjecture for Grothendieck polynomials

Let wSnw\in S_n, let Rothe(w)\operatorname{Rothe}(w) be the Rothe diagram of ww, and generate diagrams DD from it using the KK-Kohnert rule, in which each ++ either moves according to Kohnert's rule or stays in place and moves while its original position is marked by an unmovable gg. Define

Kw(β)=Dβg(D)xD,K_w^{(\beta)}=\sum_D \beta^{g(D)}\mathbf{x}^D,

where g(D)g(D) is the number of gg's in DD. Let Gw\mathfrak G_w be the Grothendieck polynomial indexed by ww. Kohnert's conjecture.

Kw(1)=Gw.K_w^{(-1)}=\mathfrak G_w.

This is the KK-theoretic extension of Kohnert's rule, whose unmarked version generates Schubert polynomials from Rothe diagrams. The source gives no resolution or status evidence for the conjecture, so it remains open.
