Stability of products of double Grothendieck polynomials

Abstract

We prove that products of double Grothendieck polynomials have the same back- and forward-stability numbers as products of Schubert polynomials, characterize which simple reflections appear in such products, and also give a new proof of a finiteness conjecture of Lam-Lee-Shimozono on products of back-stable Grothendieck polynomials which was first proved by Anderson. To do this, we use the main theorems from our recent work, as well as expansion formulas of Lenart, Fomin-Kirillov, and Lam-Lee-Shimozono.
