Newton polytopes and symmetric Grothendieck polynomials
Newton polytopes and symmetric Grothendieck polynomials
Symmetric Grothendieck polynomials are inhomogeneous versions of Schur polynomials that arise in combinatorial K-theory. A polynomial has saturated Newton polytope (SNP) if every lattice point in the polytope is an exponent vector. We show that the Newton polytopes of these Grothendieck polynomials and their homogeneous components have SNP. Moreover, the …
