Inclusion-exclusion on Schubert polynomials
Algebraic Combinatorics, Volume 5 (2022) no. 2, pp. 209-226.

We prove that an inclusion-exclusion inspired expression of Schubert polynomials of permutations that avoid the patterns $1432$ and $1423$ is nonnegative. Our theorem implies a partial affirmative answer to a recent conjecture of Yibo Gao about principal specializations of Schubert polynomials. We propose a general framework for finding inclusion-exclusion inspired expression of Schubert polynomials of all permutations.
