Partial flag Schubert polynomial limit conjecture

Let (n,m)(\mathbf n,\mathbf m) be as above, and let αn\boldsymbol\alpha_{\mathbf n} and βm\boldsymbol\beta_{\mathbf m} be positive sequences satisfying the stated conditions and summability assumptions. Suppose u(n)XP(n,m)(n)(R>0)u^{(n)}\in X_{P_{(\mathbf n,\mathbf m)}^{(n)}}(\mathbb R_{>0}) converges uniformly to uu^{\infty} with

pu(x)=ββm(1+βx)ααn(1αx).p_{u^{\infty}}(x)=\frac{\prod_{\beta\in\boldsymbol\beta_{\mathbf m}}(1+\beta x)}{\prod_{\alpha\in\boldsymbol\alpha_{\mathbf n}}(1-\alpha x)}.

For wWPmw\in W^{P_{\mathbf m}}, let w^n=w0(n)w(w0(n))1\widehat w_n=w_0^{(n)}w(w_0^{(n)})^{-1}, and let SwS_w denote the Schubert polynomial. Partial flag Schubert polynomial limit conjecture. The limits are

limnS(n)w^n(u(n))=Sw(1β1,1β2,1β3,),\lim_{n\to\infty}\mathfrak S^{\widehat w_n}_{(n)}(u^{(n)})=S_w\left(\frac1{\beta_1},\frac1{\beta_2},\frac1{\beta_3},\dots\right),

and, for wWPnw\in W^{P_{\mathbf n}},

limnS(n)w(u(n))=Sw(1α1,1α2,1α3,).\lim_{n\to\infty}\mathfrak S^{w}_{(n)}(u^{(n)})=S_w\left(\frac1{\alpha_1},\frac1{\alpha_2},\frac1{\alpha_3},\dots\right).

These formulas describe the expected stable limits of Schubert functions on arbitrary partial flag varieties; the source provides no resolution evidence.
