The antidiagonal ideal \( {J}_{2143} \) for the \( 4 \times 4 \) permutation 2143 equals \( \left\langle {{x}_{11},{x}_{13}{x}_{22}{x}_{31}}\right\rangle \).
The antidiagonal complex \( {\mathcal{L}}_{2143} \) is the union of three coordinate subspaces \( {L}_{{11},{13}},{L}_{{11},{22}} \), and \( {L}_{{11},{31}} \), with ideals\n\n\[ I\left( {L}_{{11},{13}}\right) = \left\langle {{x}_{11},{x}_{13}}\right\rangle ,\;I\left( {L}_{{11},{22}}\right) = \left\langle {{x}_{11},{x}...

Lemma 16.21 The set of complements \( {D}_{L} \) of faces \( L \in {\mathcal{L}}_{w} \) is closed under chute moves and inverse chute moves.
Proof. A pipe dream \( D \) is equal to \( {D}_{L} \) for some face \( L \in {\mathcal{L}}_{w} \) if and only if \( D \) meets every antidiagonal in \( {J}_{w} \) . Suppose that \( C \) is a chutable rectangle in \( {D}_{L} \) for \( L \in {\mathcal{L}}_{w} \) . For chutes, it is enough to show that the intersection \(...

Lemma 16.22 Given a face \( L \in {\mathcal{L}}_{w} \), there is a sequence \( {L}_{0},\ldots ,{L}_{m} \) of faces of \( {\mathcal{L}}_{w} \) in which \( {L}_{0} = L \), the face \( {L}_{m} \) is top-justified and \( {L}_{e + 1} \) is obtained from \( {L}_{e} \) by either deleting \( a + \) tile or performing an invers...
Proof. Suppose that \( {D}_{L} \) for some face \( L \in {\mathcal{L}}_{w} \) is not top-justified, and has no inverse-chutable rectangles.

Proposition 16.23 Let \( D \) and \( E \) be pipe dreams, with \( E \) obtained from \( D \) by a chute move. Then \( {L}_{D} \) is a facet of \( {\mathcal{L}}_{w} \) if and only if \( {L}_{E} \) is.
Proof. Suppose that \( {L}_{D} \) is not a facet. This means that deleting from \( D \) some +, let us call it \( \boxplus \), yields a pipe dream \( {D}^{\prime } \) whose subspace \( {L}_{{D}^{\prime }} \) is still a face of \( {\mathcal{L}}_{w} \) . We will show that some + may be deleted from \( E \) to yield a pip...

Proposition 16.24 Every top-justified pipe dream is reduced, and \( \mathcal{R}\mathcal{P}\left( w\right) \) contains a unique one, called the top reduced pipe dream \( \operatorname{top}\left( w\right) \) . Every pipe dream \( D \in \mathcal{R}\mathcal{P}\left( w\right) \) can be reached by a sequence of chutes from \...
Proof. Replacing \( w \) with \( \widetilde{w} \) if necessary, it suffices to consider honest permutations, as usual. Next we show that reduced pipe dreams that are not top-justified always admit inverse chute moves. Consider a configuration \( + \) in the most eastern column containing one. To the east of this config...

Lemma 16.25 Antidiagonals in \( {J}_{w} \smallsetminus {J}_{{\sigma }_{i}w} \) are contained in \( {\mathbf{x}}_{i \times w\left( i\right) - 1} \) and intersect row \( i \) .
Proof. If an antidiagonal in \( {J}_{w} \) is either contained in \( {\mathbf{x}}_{i - 1 \times w\left( i\right) } \) or not contained in \( {\mathbf{x}}_{i \times w\left( i\right) } \), then some rank condition causing it is in both \( r\left( w\right) \) and \( r\left( {{\sigma }_{i}w}\right) \) . Indeed, it is easy ...
No
Corollary 16.27 The antidiagonal simplicial complex \( {\mathcal{L}}_{w} \) is pure. In the multigrading with \( \deg \left( {x}_{ij}\right) = {t}_{i} \), it has multidegree \( \mathcal{C}\left( {\mathbb{k}\left\lbrack \mathbf{x}\right\rbrack /{J}_{w};\mathbf{t}}\right) = {\mathfrak{S}}_{w}\left( \mathbf{t}\right) \) .
Proof. Purity of \( {\mathcal{L}}_{w} \) is immediate from Theorem 16.18 and the fact that all reduced pipe dreams for \( w \) have the same number of + tiles. Using purity, Theorem 8.53 and Proposition 8.49 together imply that \( \mathcal{C}\left( {\mathbb{k}\left\lbrack \mathbf{x}\right\rbrack /{J}_{w};\mathbf{t}}\ri...

Theorem 16.28 The minors inside the Schubert determinantal ideal \( {I}_{w} \) constitute a Gröbner basis under any antidiagonal term order:
Proof. The multidegree \( \mathcal{C}\left( {\mathbb{k}\left\lbrack \mathbf{x}\right\rbrack /\operatorname{in}\left( {I}_{w}\right) ;\mathbf{t}}\right) \) equals the Schubert polynomial \( {\mathfrak{S}}_{w}\left( \mathbf{t}\right) \) by Corollary 15.44 and Corollary 8.47. As \( {J}_{w} \) is obviously contained inside...
No
Corollary 16.29 Schubert determinantal ideals \( {I}_{w} \) are prime.
Proof. The zero set of \( {I}_{w} \) is the matrix Schubert variety \( {\bar{X}}_{w} \), which is irreducible by Theorem 15.31. Hence the radical of \( {I}_{w} \) is prime. However, Theorem 16.28 says that \( {I}_{w} \) has a squarefree initial ideal, which automatically implies that \( {I}_{w} \) is a radical ideal.
Yes
Corollary 16.30 The double Schubert polynomial for \( w \) satisfies\n\n\[ \n{\mathfrak{S}}_{w}\left( {\mathbf{t} - \mathbf{s}}\right) = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{D \in \mathcal{{RP}}\left( w\right) }}{\left( \mathbf{t} - \mathbf{s}\right) }^{D},\;\text{ where }\;{\left( \mathbf{t} - \mathbf{s}\right) }^{D} = \mathop{\pr...
Proof. The multidegree \( \mathcal{C}\left( {\mathbb{k}\left\lbrack \mathbf{x}\right\rbrack /{J}_{w};\mathbf{t},\mathbf{s}}\right) \) equals the double Schubert polynomial by Theorem 15.40, Corollary 8.47, and Theorem 16.28, using the fact that \( {I}_{w} = I\left( {\bar{X}}_{w}\right) \) (Corollary 16.29). Now apply a...

Consider the Schubert determinantal ideal \( {I}_{2143} \) for the \( 4 \times 4 \) permutation 2143. This ideal has the same generators as the ideal \( {I}_{w} \) in Example 15.7, although in a bigger polynomial ring. We discussed the antidiagonal ideal \( {J}_{w} = \operatorname{in}\left( {I}_{w}\right) \) in Example...
In the multigrading where \( \deg \left( {x}_{ij}\right) = {t}_{i} - {s}_{j} \), the multidegree of \( {L}_{{i}_{1}{j}_{1},{i}_{2}{j}_{2}} \) equals \( \left( {{t}_{{i}_{1}} - {s}_{{j}_{1}}}\right) \left( {{t}_{{i}_{2}} - {s}_{{j}_{2}}}\right) \).

Lemma 16.33 The minimal number of matrices required to express a permutation matrix \( w \) as a product of simple reflections is \( l\left( w\right) \) .
Proof. For the identity matrix this is obvious, since it has length zero. Multiplying an arbitrary permutation matrix on the left by a simple reflection either increases length by 1 or decreases it by 1 ; this is a special case of Lemma 15.21. Ascending in weak order from the identity to a permutation matrix \( w \) th...

The unique pipe dream \( {D}_{0} \) for the \( n \times n \) long permutation (antidiagonal matrix) \( {w}_{0} \) corresponds to the ordered sequence\n\n\[ Q\left( {D}_{0}\right) = \underset{Q}{{\sigma }_{n - 1}\underbrace{{\sigma }_{n - 2}{\sigma }_{n - 1}}\cdots \cdots \underbrace{{\sigma }_{2}{\sigma }_{3}\ldots {\s...
the reverse triangular reduced expression for \( {w}_{0} \) . The part of \( Q\left( {D}_{0}\right) \) arising from each row of \( {D}_{0} \) has its own underbrace. When \( n = 4 \), the above expression simplifies to \( {Q}_{0} = {\sigma }_{3}{\sigma }_{2}{\sigma }_{3}{\sigma }_{1}{\sigma }_{2}{\sigma }_{3} \) .

Lemma 16.36 Suppose that the pipe entering row \( i \) of an \( n \times n \) pipe dream \( D \) exits column \( w\left( i\right) \) for some \( n \times n \) permutation \( w \) . Multiplying the reflections in \( Q\left( D\right) \) yields the permutation matrix \( w \) . Thus \( Q\left( D\right) \) is a reduced expr...
Proof. Use induction on the number of crossing tiles: adding a + in the \( {i}^{\text{th }} \) antidiagonal at the start of the list switches the destinations of the pipes entering through rows \( i \) and \( i + 1 \) .
No
Proposition 16.40 Antidiagonal complexes \( {\mathcal{L}}_{w} \) are subword complexes.

When \( w \) is a permutation matrix, the fact that\n\n\[ {\mathcal{L}}_{w} = \Delta \left( {{Q}_{n \times n}, w}\right) \]\n\nis a subword complex for the \( n \times n \) reverse square word is immediate from Theorem 16.18 and Lemma 16.33. When \( w \) is an arbitrary \( k \times \ell \) partial permutation, s...

Proposition 16.42 Vertex-decomposable complexes are shellable.
Proof. Use induction on the number of vertices by first shelling \( {\operatorname{del}}_{\Delta }\left( v\right) \) and then shelling the cone from \( v \) over \( {\operatorname{link}}_{\Delta }\left( v\right) \) to get a shelling of \( \Delta \) .
No
Theorem 16.43 Antidiagonal complexes are shellable and hence Cohen-Macaulay. More generally, subword complexes are vertex-decomposable.
Proof. By Proposition 16.40 and Proposition 16.42, it is enough to prove the second sentence. With \( Q = \left( {{\sigma }_{{i}_{m}},{\sigma }_{{i}_{m - 1}},\ldots ,{\sigma }_{{i}_{1}}}\right) \), it suffices by induction on the number of vertices to demonstrate that both the link and the deletion of \( {\sigma }_{{i}...

Corollary 16.44 Schubert determinantal rings are Cohen-Macaulay.
Proof. Apply Theorems 16.43 and 8.31 to Theorem 16.28.

The sequence of three matrices in Fig. 17.1 constitutes an element in the vector space \( {M}_{23} \times {M}_{34} \times {M}_{43} \) of sequences of linear maps \( {\mathbb{k}}^{2} \rightarrow {\mathbb{k}}^{3} \rightarrow {\mathbb{k}}^{4} \rightarrow {\mathbb{k}}^{3} \) (so \( {\mathbb{k}}^{r} \) consists of row vecto...
Let \( \mathbb{k}\left\lbrack \mathbf{f}\right\rbrack \) denote the coordinate ring of \( {M}_{23} \times {M}_{34} \times {M}_{43} \) . Thus \( \mathbb{k}\left\lbrack \mathbf{f}\right\rbrack \) is a polynomial ring \( 6 + {12} + {12} = {30} \) variables \( \mathbf{f} = \left\{ {f}_{\alpha \beta }^{i}\right\} \), arrang...

Lemma 17.5 If \( \mathbf{w} \in \) Mat is a lacing diagram with precisely \( {q}_{k\ell } \) laces beginning in column \( k \) and ending in column \( \ell \), for each \( k \leq \ell \), then \( {r}_{ij}\left( \mathbf{w}\right) \) equals the number of laces passing through both column \( i \) and column \( j \) :
\[ {r}_{ij}\left( \mathbf{w}\right) = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{k = 0}}^{i}\mathop{\sum }\limits_{{\ell = j}}^{n}{q}_{k\ell } \]
Yes
Lemma 17.8 Every lacing diagram \( \mathbf{w} \in \) Mat is isomorphic to the direct sum of the indecomposable lacing diagrams corresponding to its laces. Two lacing diagrams are isomorphic if and only if they have the same lace array.
The (easy) proof is left to Exercise 17.2; note that the second sentence is a consequence of the first.
No
Proposition 17.9 Every quiver representation \( \phi \in \) Mat is isomorphic to a lacing diagram \( \mathbf{w} \), whose lace array \( \mathbf{q} \) is independent of the choice of \( \mathbf{w} \) .
Proof. It suffices by Lemma 17.8 to show that \( \phi \) is isomorphic to a direct sum of indecomposables. We may as well assume that \( {r}_{0} \neq 0 \) and let \( j \) be the largest index for which the composite \( {\mathbb{k}}^{{r}_{0}} \rightarrow {\mathbb{k}}^{{r}_{j}} \) is nonzero. Choose a linearly independen...

We are interested in the ideal \( I \) generated by all of the minors of size \( \rho + 1 \) in the product \( {\Phi }_{...
Suppose that \( I = {I}_{\mathbf{r}} \) for some rank array \( \mathbf{r} \). In order for the only equations generating \( I \) to be the minors in \( {\Phi }_{1}{\Phi }_{2} \), there must be no rank conditions on \( {\Phi }_{1} \) individually, and also none on \( {\Phi }_{2} \) individually. In other words, we must ...

Lemma 17.16 Let \( {\Gamma \Phi } \) be the product of two matrices with entries in a commutative ring \( R \) . If \( \Gamma \) is square and \( \det \left( \Gamma \right) \) is a unit, then for each fixed \( u \in \mathbb{N} \), the ideals generated by the size \( u \) minors in \( \Phi \) and in \( {\Gamma \Phi } \)...
Proof. The result is easy when \( u = 1 \) . The case of arbitrary \( u \) reduces to the case \( u = 1 \) by noting that the minors of size \( u \) in a matrix for a map \( {R}^{k} \rightarrow {R}^{\ell } \) of free modules are simply the entries in a particular choice of matrix for the associated map \( \mathop{\bigw...

Proof. The coefficient on \( {q}_{\alpha \beta } \) in \( {r}_{ij} + \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{m = i + 1}}^{{j - 1}}{r}_{m} \) is the number of elements in \( \left\{ {r}_{ij}\right\} \cup \left\{ {{r}_{i + 1, i + 1},\ldots ,{r}_{j - 1, j - 1}}\right\} \) that are weakly northwest of \( {r}_{\alpha \beta } \) in the rank...

Proposition 17.22 Multiplication by \( P \) on the left preserves the matrix Schubert variety \( {\bar{X}}_{v\left( \mathbf{r}\right) } \) . In fact, \( {\bar{X}}_{v\left( \mathbf{r}\right) } \) is the closure in \( {M}_{d} \) of \( P \cdot \mathcal{Z}\left( {\Omega }_{\mathbf{r}}\right) \) .

Theorem 18.4 The affine varieties \( {U}_{\lambda } \) form an open cover of the subset \( {H}_{n} \subset {\operatorname{Gr}}^{n}\left( {V}_{m}\right) \) for \( m \geq n + 1 \), thereby endowing \( {H}_{n} \) with the structure of a quasiprojective variety (i.e., an open subvariety of a projective variety).
Proof. The sets \( {U}_{\lambda } \) cover \( {H}_{n} \) by Lemma 18.2, and each set \( {U}_{\lambda } \) is locally closed in \( {\operatorname{Gr}}^{n}\left( {V}_{m}\right) \) by the above discussion.

Proposition 3.8.3. Let \( s = a/c \) and \( {s}^{\prime } = {a}^{\prime }/{c}^{\prime } \) be elements of \( \mathbb{Q} \cup \{ \infty \} \) with \( \gcd \left( {a, c}\right) = \gcd \left( {{a}^{\prime },{c}^{\prime }}\right) = 1 \) .

Lemma 3.8.4. Let the integers \( a, c \) have images \( \bar{a},\bar{c} \) in \( \mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z} \) . Then the following are equivalent:\n\n(1) \( \left\lbrack \frac{\bar{a}}{c}\right\rbrack \) has a lift \( \left\lbrack \frac{{a}^{\prime }}{{c}^{\prime }}\right\rbrack \in {\mathbb{Z}}^{2} \) with \( \gcd \left(...

If condition (1) holds then \( k\left( {a + {sN}}\right) + l\left( {c + {tN}}\right) = 1 \) for some integers \( k, l, s, t \), and so \( {ka} + {lc} + \left( {{ks} + {lt}}\right) N = 1 \), giving condition (2).\n\nIf condition (2) holds then \( {ad} - {bc} + {kN} = 1 \) for some \( b, d \), and \( k \), and the...

Proposition 3.8.5. Let \( \Gamma \) be a congruence subgroup of \( {\mathrm{{SL}}}_{2}\left( \mathbb{Z}\right) \) and let \( P \) be the parabolic subgroup of \( {\mathrm{{SL}}}_{2}\left( \mathbb{Z}\right), P = \left\{ {\pm \left\lbrack \begin{array}{ll} 1 & j \\ 0 & 1 \end{array}\right\rbrack : j \in \mathbb{Z}}\right...
Proof. The map is well defined since if \( {\Gamma \alpha P} = \Gamma {\alpha }^{\prime }P \) then \( {\alpha }^{\prime } = {\gamma \alpha \delta } \) for some \( \gamma \in \Gamma \) and \( \delta \in P \), so that \( \Gamma {\alpha }^{\prime }\left( \infty \right) = {\Gamma \gamma \alpha \delta }\left( \infty \right)...

Proposition 4.2.1. For any \( \gamma \in {\mathrm{{SL}}}_{2}\left( \mathbb{Z}\right) \), \n\n\[ \n\left( {{E}_{k}^{\bar{v}}{\left\lbrack \gamma \right\rbrack }_{k}}\right) \left( \tau \right) = {E}_{k}^{\overline{v\gamma }}\left( \tau \right) \n\]

Compute for any \( \gamma \in {\mathrm{{SL}}}_{2}\left( \mathbb{Z}\right) \), using the fact that \( \Gamma \left( N\right) \) is normal in \( {\mathrm{{SL}}}_{2}\left( \mathbb{Z}\right) \) at the second and fourth steps, that \n\n\[ \n\left( {{E}_{k}^{\bar{v}}{\left\lbrack \gamma \right\rbrack }_{k}}\right) \le...

Corollary 4.2.2. \( {E}_{k}^{\bar{v}} \in {\mathcal{M}}_{k}\left( {\Gamma \left( N\right) }\right) \) .
Proof. As a subseries of the series \( {E}_{k} \) analyzed in Exercise 1.1.4, \( {E}_{k}^{\bar{v}} \) is holomorphic on \( \mathcal{H} \), meeting condition (1) of Definition 1.2.3. Since every \( \gamma \in \Gamma \left( N\right) \) reduces to the identity matrix modulo \( N \), Proposition 4.2.1 here shows that \( \o...

Theorem 4.2.3. The Fourier expansion of \( {G}_{k}^{\bar{v}}\left( \tau \right) \) for \( k \geq 3 \) and \( \bar{v} \in {\left( \mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z}\right) }^{2} \) a point of order \( N \) is\n\n\[ \n{G}_{k}^{\bar{v}}\left( \tau \right) = \delta \left( {\bar{c}}_{v}\right) {\zeta }^{{\bar{d}}_{v}}\left( k\right) + ...
When \( N = 1 \), the Fourier expansion agrees with \( {G}_{k}\left( \tau \right) \) from Chapter 1 for \( k \) even and it cancels to zero when \( k \) is odd (Exercise 4.2.6). Clearly the \( n \) th Fourier coefficient is bounded by \( C{n}^{k} \), completing the proof that \( {E}_{k}^{\bar{v}} \) is a modular form.

Proposition 4.3.1. Let \( {\widehat{G}}_{N} \) be the dual group of \( {G}_{N} \) . Then \( {\widehat{G}}_{N} \) is isomorphic to \( {G}_{N} \) . In particular, the number of Dirichlet characters modulo \( N \) is \( \phi \left( N\right) \) .
The two groups are noncanonically isomorphic, meaning that constructing an actual isomorphism from \( {G}_{N} \) to \( {\widehat{G}}_{N} \) involves arbitrary choices of which elements map to which characters. The groups \( {G}_{N} \) and \( {\widehat{G}}_{N} \) satisfy the orthogonality relations (Exercise 4.3.1),\n\n...

Lemma 4.3.2. Let \( N \) be a positive integer. If \( N = 1 \) or \( N = 2 \) then every Dirichlet character \( \chi \) modulo \( N \) satisfies \( \chi \left( {-1}\right) = 1 \) . If \( N > 2 \) then the number of Dirichlet characters modulo \( N \) is even, half of them satisfying \( \chi \left( {-1}\right) = 1 \) an...
Proof. The result for \( N = 1 \) and \( N = 2 \) is clear. If \( N > 2 \) then \( 4\left| N\right| \) or \( p \mid N \) for some odd prime \( p \) . The nontrivial character modulo 4 takes -1 (mod 4) to -1, and for every odd prime \( p \) the character modulo \( p \) taking a generator \( g \) of \( {G}_{p} \) to a pr...

The functional equation for the associated sum of Eisenstein series follows as before. The constant terms of the series \( {\vartheta }_{k}^{\bar{v}}\left( \gamma \right) \) are 0, so that \( {\Theta }_{k}^{a}\left( {\gamma r}\right) \) converges to 0 rapidly as \( r \rightarrow \infty \) .

The desired transformation of \( {\theta }_{\chi } \) under \( {\Gamma }_{0}\left( {3{N}^{2}}\right) \) follows from (4.49) since \( {\theta }_{\chi } = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{\bar{u}}\chi \left( u\right) {\theta }^{\bar{u}}{\left\lbrack \delta \right\rbrack }_{1} \) (Exercise 4.11.4).
