Saturation property fails for Schubert coefficients

preprint2026arXivOpen access

Abstract

The saturation property for Littlewood--Richardson coefficients was established by Knutson and Tao in 1999. In 2004, Kirillov conjectured that the saturation property extends to Schubert coefficients. We disprove this conjecture in a strong form, by showing that it fails for a large family of instances. We also refute the saturation property for Schubert coefficients under bit scaling and discuss computational complexity implications.
