Weak Bruhat interval modules of the 0-Hecke algebras for stable Grothendieck polynomials
For a partition $\lambda$, let $G_\lambda^{(\beta)}$ be the stable $\beta$-Grothendieck polynomial attached to $\lambda$. Each homogeneous component of the $\beta = 1$ specialization $G_\lambda^{(1)}$ is Schur-positive and hence positive in the fundamental basis of quasisymmetric functions. For $m\ge|\lambda|$, let $G_{\lambda,m}^{(1)}$ be the homogeneous degree $m$ component of $G_\lambda^{(1)}$. In this paper, we first give a direct proof of an expansion of $G_{\lambda,m}^{(1)}$ in the fundamental basis in terms of standard set-valued tableaux. We then use these tableaux as a basis to define a module of the $0$-Hecke algebra and show that the quasisymmetric characteristic of the resulting module is $G_{\lambda,m}^{(1)}$. We further show that this module decomposes as a direct sum of weak Bruhat interval modules.
