Abstract

In this paper, we are concerned with identifying among the family of posets associated with Kohnert polynomials, those whose order complex has a certain combinatorial property. In particular, for numerous families of Kohnert polynomials, including key polynomials, we determine when the associated Kohnert posets are (EL-)shellable. Interestingly, under certain diagram restrictions, (EL-)shellability of a Kohnert poset is equivalent to multiplcity freeness of the associated Kohnert polynomial.
