Newton polytopes of dual Schubert polynomials
The M-convexity of dual Schubert polynomials was first proven by Huh, Matherne, Mészáros, and St. Dizier in 2022. We give a full characterization of the support of dual Schubert polynomials, which yields an elementary alternative proof of the M-convexity result, and furthermore strengthens it by explicitly characterizing the vertices of their Newton polytopes combinatorially. Using this characterization, we give a polynomial-time algorithm to determine if a coefficient of a dual Schubert polynomial is zero, analogous to a result of Adve, Robichaux, and Yong for Schubert polynomials.
