Applying the divided difference operator












1














This question is about divided difference operators.



How do I perform $partial _2$ or $partial_3$ on $x_1^2x_2$?



$partial_i$ is defined as $frac{p-r_i.p}{x_i-x_{i+1}}$, where $r_i$ is the reflection operator; i.e. $r_i.p(x_1,x_2,dots,x_i,x_{i+1},dots,x_n)=p(x_1,x_2,dots,x_{i+1},x_i,dots,x_n)$.



Do I just assume that $x_1^2x_2=x_1^2x_2x_3^0x_4^0$?



Edit: I have another question. The calculation of Schubert polynomials uss the following formula: $S_{pi}=partial_{pi^{-1}w_0^n}S_{w_0^n}$. What does $partial_{pi^{-1}w_0^n}$ mean? Do I just concatenate $pi^{-1}$ and $w_0^n$ as words? Like if $w_0^3=321$ and $pi=(12)$, we get $partial_{pi^{-1}w_0^n}=partial_{1321}$?

For the first question: Yes, $x_1^2x_2 = x_1^2x_2^1x_3^0x_4^0$, hence
$$partial_2(x_1^2x_2) = frac{x_1^2x_2 - x_1^2x_3}{x_2-x_3} = x_1^2.$$



For the second question: No, it is not just concatenation. To compute $partial_w$ you need to find a reduced word $I = [i_1, i_2, ldots, i_m]$ for $w$: write $w = r_{i_1}r_{i_2} dotsb r_{i_m}$ with $m$ minimal. Then $partial_w = partial_{i_1}partial_{i_2} dotsb partial_{i_m}.$



In your example, with permutations written in second-line notation, $w_0^3 = 321$ and $pi = 213$, hence $pi^{-1}w_0^3 = 312 = r_2r_1$. Therefore $partial_{pi^{-1}w_0^3} = partial_2partial_1$.
