Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of ladder determinantal varieties and patches of Grassmannian Schubert varieties

We give degree formulas for Grothendieck polynomials indexed by vexillary permutations and 1432-avoiding permutations via tableau combinatorics. These formulas generalize a formula for degrees of symmetric Grothendieck polynomials which appeared in previous joint work of the authors with Y. Ren and A. St. Dizier. We apply our formulas to compute Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of classes of generalized determinantal ideals. In particular, we …
