Equivariant Chern class formula for flag varieties via arc spaces

Let G=GLnG=GL_n, let r=(r1,,rk)\mathbf{r}=(r_1,\ldots,r_k) determine the partial flag variety and the corresponding flag representation V~\widetilde{V}_\bullet, and let λ~=λ~(m)\widetilde{\lambda}=\widetilde{\lambda}(\mathbf{m}) for a tuple of non-negative integers m=(m1,,mn)\mathbf{m}=(m_1,\ldots,m_n). The classes [Contλ~(V~)][\overline{\operatorname{Cont}^{\widetilde{\lambda}}(\widetilde{V}_\bullet)}] form a Z\mathbb{Z}-basis of HGFl(r)=ΛPH_G^*Fl(\mathbf{r})=\Lambda_P, where cj,rc_{j,\mathbf{r}} denotes the specified elementary symmetric function in the relevant block of variables. Equivariant flag-variety formula. One has

[Contλ~(V~)]=[Contλ~(V~)]=(1)iλ~ic1,rm1cn,rmn.[\operatorname{Cont}^{\geq \widetilde{\lambda}}(\widetilde{V}_\bullet)]=[\overline{\operatorname{Cont}^{\widetilde{\lambda}}(\widetilde{V}_\bullet)}]=(-1)^{\sum_i\widetilde{\lambda}_i}c_{1,\mathbf{r}}^{m_1}\cdots c_{n,\mathbf{r}}^{m_n}.

The conjecture would identify the geometric basis of the equivariant cohomology of the partial flag variety with the indicated multiply-symmetric-function monomials, including the stated sign. Its status is not resolved in the supplied text.
