Double Grothendieck Polynomials and Colored Lattice Models

Abstract. We construct an integrable colored vertex model whose partition function is a double Grothendieck polynomial and relate it to bumpless pipe dreams. This gives a new proof of recent results of Weigandt. For vexillary permutations, we then construct a new model that we call the semidual version model. We use our semidual model and the five-vertex model of Motegi and Sakai to give a new proof that double Grothendieck polynomials for vexillary permutations are equal to flagged factorial Grothendieck polynomials. We then obtain a new proof that the stable limit is a factorial Grothendieck polynomial as defined by McNamara. The states of our semidual model naturally correspond to families of nonintersecting lattice paths, where we can then use the Lindström-Gessel-Viennot lemma to give a determinant formula for double Schubert polynomials corresponding to vexillary permutations.
