Strict log-concavity conjecture for coefficients of non-equivariant motivic Chern classes

About 8 years old · traced to

Let pp be a permutation and let \mC[p]\mC[p] be its non-equivariant motivic Chern class, expanded in the Schubert basis {[w]}\{\mathbf{[w]}\}. For each coefficient, write the resulting polynomial in yy as ∑k=0dakyk\sum_{k=0}^d a_k y^k; strict log-concavity means ak2>ak−1ak+1a_k^2>a_{k-1}a_{k+1} for every 0<k<d0<k<d.

Strict log-concavity conjecture. The coefficients in the [w]\mathbf{[w]}-expansion of the non-equivariant \mC[p]\mC[p] classes are strictly log-concave.

Log-concavity is a proposed structural property of the coefficient polynomials in motivic Chern classes. The authors checked the conjecture for n≤6n\leq 6; no general proof or disproof is supplied.
