Huh–Matherne–Mészáros–St. Dizier's Lorentzian conjecture for normalized Schubert polynomials

Let wSnw\in S_n, let Sw(x)\mathfrak{S}_w(x) be the Schubert polynomial indexed by ww, and let NN be the normalization operator on monomials, defined by

N(xα)=x1α1α1!xmαmαm!.N(x^\alpha)=\frac{x_1^{\alpha_1}}{\alpha_1!}\cdots\frac{x_m^{\alpha_m}}{\alpha_m!}.

A homogeneous polynomial is Lorentzian when its support is M-convex and every quadratic form obtained by differentiating it d2d-2 times has at most one positive eigenvalue. Huh–Matherne–Mészáros–St. Dizier's conjecture. For any wSnw\in S_n, the polynomial N(Sw(x))N(\mathfrak{S}_w(x)) is Lorentzian. This conjecture extends the known result for permutations avoiding the patterns 14321432 and 14231423; the paper proves it when the corresponding Grothendieck polynomial is zero-one, giving partial confirmation, while the general case remains open.
