Tianyi Yu 喻天奕

I am a CRM-ISM postdoc at Université du Québec à Montréal. I got my Ph.D. in 2024 from the University of California, San Diego, advised by Brendon Rhoades. My research is about algebraic combinatorics. My email address is yu.tianyi (at) uqam.ca. My CV is here.

Research

with Eric Marberg and Kam Hung Tong

We show that the generating functions of normal square root crystals are positive sums of symmetric Grothendieck polynomials, providing a tool for establishing Grothendieck positivity.

with Adam Gregory, Zachary Hamaker

We give a tableau formula for vexillary double Edelman-Greene coefficients that is manifestly Graham-positive.

with Daoji Huang and Mark Shimozono

Marked bumpless pipedreams and compatible pairs are two combinatorial models for Grothendieck polynomials. We construct a bijection between them.

We reinterpret bumpless pipedreams as Bruhat chains, paralleling Lenart and Sottile’s work on classical pipedreams. This yields a bumpless analogue of Fomin and Stanley’s algebraic construction.

We investigate Grothendieck polynomials labeled by inverse fireworks permutations. We introduce a combinatorial model for their top degree components and proved a conjecture on their support.

We give a tableau formula for the Lascoux expansion of a Lascoux polynomial times a stable Grothendieck polynomial.

Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2024

We solve a problem of Pechenik, Speyer, and Weigandt on constructing the maximal pipedream that captures the leading monomial of the top-degree part of double Grothendieck polynomials.

Mathematische Zeitschrift, 2024

We construct an explicit Gröbner basis, with integer coefficients, for a family of ideals introduced by Sean Griffin that generalize the Delta Conjecture coinvariant rings and Springer fiber cohomology rings.

We relate Schubert polynomials and top Lascoux polynomials via a simple operator, showing they share structure constants. This connection uncovers several combinatorial properties of top Lascoux polynomials.

We define a statistic on diagrams. It recovers the rajcode of Pechenik, Speyer, and Weigandt on Rothe diagrams and gives the leading monomial of top Lascoux polynomials on left-justified diagrams.

with Daoji Huang and Mark Shimozono
Combinatorial Theory, 2024

We introduce a row insertion algorithm on decreasing tableaux that generalizes Edelman–Greene row insertion, serving as a row analogue of Hecke column insertion.

with Jianping Pan
Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2023

We prove a conjectural formula for Lascoux polynomials by Ross and Yong via a weight-preserving bijection between reverse set-valued tableaux and K-Kohnert diagrams.

We introduce a set-valued tableaux rule for Lascoux polynomials. We construct a new abstract Kashiwara crystal structure on set-valued tableaux.

with Mark Shimozono
Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, 2023

We prove a conjecture of Reiner and Yong: giving a tableau formula for expanding a Grothendieck polynomial into Lascoux polynomials—analogous to the Schubert-to-key expansion.

with Brendon Rhoades and Zehong Zhao
Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2020

We describe the harmonic space and construct a harmonic basis for a family of ideals introduced by Sean Griffin that generalizes the Delta Conjecture coinvariant rings and Springer fiber cohomology rings.
