Equivariant Chern class formula for arc spaces of the general linear group

About 17 years old · traced to

Let G=GLnG=GL_n and let V∙V_\bullet be the universal flag representation used to define the contact loci Cont⁡≥λ(V∙)\operatorname{Cont}^{\geq\lambda}(V_\bullet) and Cont⁡λ(V∙)\operatorname{Cont}^{\lambda}(V_\bullet). Recall that ΛG=Z[c1,…,cn]\Lambda_G=\mathbb{Z}[c_1,\ldots,c_n], where cic_i is the iith equivariant Chern class of the standard representation. For a tuple of non-negative integers m=(m1,…,mn)\mathbf{m}=(m_1,\ldots,m_n), let λ=λ(m)\lambda=\lambda(\mathbf{m}). Equivariant Chern class formula. One has

[Cont⁡≥λ(V∙)]=[Cont⁡λ(V∙)‾]=c1m1⋯cnmn.[\operatorname{Cont}^{\geq \lambda}(V_\bullet)]=[\overline{\operatorname{Cont}^{\lambda}(V_\bullet)}]=c_1^{m_1}\cdots c_n^{m_n}.

The preceding corollary shows that these orbit-closure classes form a Z\mathbb{Z}-basis of ΛG\Lambda_G; the conjecture identifies this geometric basis with the monomial basis in equivariant Chern classes. Its status is not resolved in the supplied text.
