Abstract

Knutson, Tao, and Woodward formulated a Littlewood–Richardson rule for the cohomology ring of Grassmannians in terms of puzzles. Vakil and Wheeler–Zinn-Justin have found additional triangular puzzle pieces that allow one to express structure constants for K-theory of Grassmannians. Here we introduce two other puzzle pieces of hexagonal shape, each of which gives a Littlewood–Richardson rule for K-homology of Grassmannians. We also explore the corresponding eight versions of K-theoretic Littlewood–Richardson tableaux.
