TL;DR
This work develops a Demazure-crystal framework for flagged refined skew stable Grothendieck polynomials by endowing the set of flagged semi-standard set-valued tableaux with a Demazure crystal structure. The main theorem proves that $\mathrm{SVT}_{\mathbf{e}}(\lambda/\mu,\Phi)$ decomposes into Demazure crystals, yielding a Demazure expansion of $G_{\lambda/\mu}(X_{\Phi};\mathbf{t})$ in terms of key polynomials $\kappa_{\widehat{\beta(R')}}$. The paper then derives multiple expansions: refined dual stable Grothendieck polynomials and row-refined skew stable Grothendieck polynomials in terms of stable and dual stable bases, as well as Schur $P$-functions, using tableau- and crystal-theoretic methods. Overall, this links flagged, set-valued combinatorics to Demazure characters and K-theoretic Schubert calculus, broadening tableau-based expansions and enabling explicit computations across several Grothendieck-type families.
Abstract
The flagged refined stable Grothendieck polynomials of skew shapes generalize several polynomials like stable Grothendieck polynomials, flagged skew Schur polynomials. In this paper, we provide a combinatorial expansion of the flagged refined skew stable Grothendieck polynomial in terms of key polynomials. We present this expansion by imposing a Demazure crystal structure on the set of flagged semi-standard set-valued tableaux of a given skew shape and a flag. We also provide expansions of the row-refined stable Grothendieck polynomials and refined dual stable Grothendieck polynomials and the Schur P-functions in terms of stable Grothendieck polynomials $G_λ$ and in terms of dual stable Grothendieck polynomials $g_λ$.
