Rhombic Tableaux for Partial Flag Varieties

Abstract. We introduce semi-standard rhombic tableaux as a new combinatorial model for Schubert polynomials corresponding to cohomology classes of a partial flag variety. Based on Elnitsky's rhombic tilings, our model generalizes semi-standard Young tableaux in the case of Grassmannian. Our construction naturally extends to infinite flag varieties (Stanley symmetric functions) and to K-theory using set-valued tableaux. We also discuss a generalization of Bender-Knuth involution.
