Nonnegative SEM expansion conjecture for Schubert polynomials
Nonnegative SEM expansion conjecture for Schubert polynomials
Let be a permutation, let denote its Schubert polynomial, and consider its expansion in the SEM basis. A polynomial is a single SEM if it is one basis element of this expansion. Nonnegative SEM expansion conjecture. The SEM expansion of has all nonnegative coefficients only when is a single SEM. The preceding argument proves that violating the stated Lehmer-code rules prevents a Schubert polynomial from being a single SEM; the stronger nonnegativity assertion is presented as a conjectural extension and is not resolved here.
