Speaker: Linus Setiabrata (U. Chicago)Title: Double orthodontia formulas and Lascoux positivityAbstract:Motivated by our search for a representation theoretic avatar for double Grothendieck polynomials, we extend Magyar’s orthodontia formula for Schubert polynomials. Our formula gives a curious positivity result: Writing $\mathfrak S_w(\mathbf x, \mathbf y)$ for a vexillary double Schubert polynomial, the polynomial $x_1^n \dots x_n^n \mathfrak S_w(x_n^{-1}, \dots, x_1^{-1}; 1, \dots, 1)$ is a graded nonnegative sum of Lascoux polynomials. Joint work with Avery St. Dizier.
