What Do You Know About Schubert Polynomials?
Settings
Schubert polynomials are speculations of Schur polynomials that speak to cohomology classes of Schubert cycles in flag or hail assortments. In mathematics, there are many variations, which include double Schubert polynomials, quantum Schubert polynomials, and universal Schubert polynomials.
