Type B Richardson-clan conjecture

Let uu and vv be type BB Weyl group elements satisfying the conditions in the paper's Bruhat-comparability lemma. Associate to them a symmetric clan γ(u,v)\gamma(u,v) by the five cases described in the source: cases (1)–(3) produce clans for which XuvX_u^v and Xw0vw0uX_{w_0v}^{w_0u} are the two distinct LL-orbit closures associated to the clan, while cases (4)–(5) produce a clan for which XuvX_u^v is the single associated LL-orbit closure.

Type B Richardson-clan conjecture. With these definitions, in cases (1)–(3), XuvX_u^v is one of the two LL-orbit closures associated to γ(u,v)\gamma(u,v) and Xw0vw0uX_{w_0v}^{w_0u} is the other; in cases (4)–(5), XuvX_u^v is the single LL-orbit closure associated to γ(u,v)\gamma(u,v).

The claim identifies Richardson varieties with orbit closures and is used to derive a Schubert-calculus rule for the relevant structure constants. The supplied text gives no resolution evidence.
