Abstract
The coefficients of the Kazhdan–Lusztig polynomials are nonnegative integers that are upper semicontinuous relative to Bruhat order. Conjecturally, the same properties hold for -polynomials of local rings of Schubert varieties. This suggests a parallel between the two families of polynomials. We prove our conjectures for Grassmannians, and more generally, covexillary Schubert varieties in complete flag varieties, by deriving a combinatorial formula for . We introduce drift configurations to formulate a new and compatible combinatorial rule for . From our rules we deduce, for these cases, the coefficient-wise inequality .
