Integrable models and $K$-theoretic pushforward of Grothendieck classes

Abstract: We show that a multiple commutation relation of the Yang-Baxter algebra of integrable lattice models derived by Shigechi and Uchiyama can be used to connect two types of Grothendieck classes by the $K$-theoretic pushforward from the Grothendieck group of Grassmann bundles to the Grothendieck group of a nonsingular variety. Using the commutation relation, we show that two types of partition functions of an integrable five-vertex model, which can be explicitly described using skew Grothendieck polynomials, and can be viewed as Grothendieck classes, are directly connected by the $K$-theoretic pushforward. We show that special cases of the pushforward formula which correspond to the nonskew version are also special cases of the formulas derived by Buch. We also present a skew generalization of an identity for the Grothendieck polynomials by Guo and Sun, which is an extension of the one for Schur polynomials by Feh\'er, N\'emethi and Rim\'anyi. We also show an application of the pushforward formula and derive an integration formula for the Grothendieck polynomials.
