The Monotone Osculating Conjecture for flag manifolds
The Monotone Osculating Conjecture for flag manifolds
Let be a rational normal curve, and let denote its osculating flag at , whose -dimensional subspace is spanned by . For a Schubert problem on , let be the associated Schubert varieties.
Monotone Osculating Conjecture. For any such Schubert problem and any flags osculating at points that are monotone with respect to the Schubert problem, the intersection
is transverse and all its points are real. The conjecture is presented as the osculating limit of the Monotone Secant Conjecture; special cases and substantial computational evidence were known, but the general assertion remained open in the source.
