Fomin–Kirillov nonnegativity conjecture for Schubert polynomials

Let SnS_n be the symmetric group, let [ij][ij] be the generators of the Fomin–Kirillov algebra, and let θi\theta_i be the Dunkl elements

θi=ji[ij].\theta_i=\sum_{j\ne i}[ij].

Let Sw\mathfrak{S}_w be the Schubert polynomial associated with wSnw\in S_n, and let Sw(θ)\mathfrak{S}_w(\theta) denote its evaluation obtained by replacing xix_i by θi\theta_i. Nonnegativity conjecture. The element Sw(θ)\mathfrak{S}_w(\theta) can be written as a nonnegative linear combination of noncommutative monomials

[i1,j1][i2,j2][im,jm].[i_1,j_1][i_2,j_2]\cdots[i_m,j_m].

This conjecture, attributed in the source to Fomin and Kirillov, is presented as stronger than the positivity conjecture for ordinary CSM classes and is used to imply that positivity in type A; its resolution status is not given in the source.
