“…There is interest in finding K-analogues of elements of the classical Young tableau theory; see, e.g., [Le00, Bu02, BKSTY08, ThYo09b, BuSa13, GMPPRST16, PaPy14, HKPWZZ15,LiMoSh16]. Although the Grothendieck functions were originally studied for geometric reasons, the combinatorics has been part of a broader conversation in algebraic and enumerative combinatorics, e.g., Hopf algebras [LaPy07,PaPy16,Pa15], cyclic sieving [Pe14,Rh15,PrStVi14], Demazure characters [Mo16+], homomesy [BlPeSa16], longest increasing subsequences of random words [ThYo11], poset edge densities [ReTeYo16], and plane partitions [DiPeSt15,HPPW16].…”
