Jul 24, 2014 at 6:42 comment added Joshua P. Swanson Also, Sottile now has a preprint of his paper with N. Bergeron and S. Assaf on his web site/on the arXiv, "A combinatorial proof that Schubert vs. Schur coefficients are nonnegative". Finally, Knutson's descent cycling paper is very readable and brief, and includes a proof of Monk's rule, so it might be another good place to start. (Same Knutson as above.)
Jul 24, 2014 at 6:40 comment added Joshua P. Swanson @MichaelJoyce: Very minor thing, but you're probably confusing Sottile's solo paper, "Pieri's Rule for Flag Manifolds and Schubert Polynomials"--which is a proof of a Schur-times-Schub version of Pieri's rule--and N. Bergeron and Sottile's later joint work, "Schubert Polynomials, The Bruhat Order, and the Geometry of Flag Manifolds", which restates Sottile's earlier characterization.
Feb 22, 2014 at 17:34 comment added Allen Knutson The most recent results I know of are those of Buch-Kresch-Purbhoo-Tamvakis, proving my conjecture for 2-step flag manifolds. Bergeron and Sottile did not solve the Schubert times Schur problem in their paper, but have more recently announced a solution with S. Assaf.
Feb 22, 2014 at 2:07 comment added Michael Joyce The literature on this topic is vast, but one place to start would be papers by N. Bergeron and Sottile. They solved the Schubert times Schur problem in terms of chains in $k$-Bruhat order. The $k$-Bruhat order is generated by covering relations in ordinary Bruhat order $u \prec v = u \cdot (a,b)$, $\ell(v) = \ell(u) + 1$, with $a \leq k < b$.
