A bijection between $K$-Kohnert diagrams and reverse set-valued tableaux

Abstract: Lascoux polynomials are $K$-theoretic analogues of the key polynomials. They both have combinatorial formulas involving tableaux: reverse set-valued tableaux ($\mathsf{RSVT}$) rule for Lascoux polynomials and reverse semistandard Young tableaux ($\mathsf{RSSYT}$) rule for key polynomials. Furthermore, key polynomials have a simple algorithmic model in terms of Kohnert diagrams, which are in bijection with $\mathsf{RSSYT}$. Ross and Yong introduced $K$-Kohnert diagrams, which are analogues of Kohnert diagrams. They conjectured a $K$-Kohnert diagram rule for Lascoux polynomials. We establish this conjecture by constructing a weight-preserving bijection between $\mathsf{RSVT}$ and $K$-Kohnert diagrams.
