Classical Double Grothendieck Transitions

Abstract. Kirillov and Naruse have constructed double Grothendieck polynomials to represent the equivariant K-theory classes of Schubert varieties in the complete flag manifolds of types B, C, and D. We derive a recursive formula for these polynomials, extending certain transition equations known in type A. As an application, we obtain an identity that expands the K-Stanley symmetric functions in types B, C, and D into positive linear combinations of K-theoretic Schur P- and Q-functions. We use this expansion to resolve some conjectures related to K-theoretic Schur P- and Q-functions.
