Shifted Hecke insertion and K-theory of OG(n,2n+1)

Abstract. Patrias and Pylyavskyy introduced shifted Hecke insertion as an application of their theory of dual filtered graphs. We show that shifted Hecke insertion has a natural place in the combinatorial study of the K-theory of the maximal orthogonal Grassmannian. In particular, we relate it to the K-theoretic jeu de taquin of Clifford-Thomas-Yong and use it to create new symmetric functions, which we use to derive a Littlewood-Richardson rule for the K-theory of the orthogonal Grassmannian equivalent to the rules of Clifford-Thomas-Yong and Buch-Samuel.
