Positivity conjecture for Mather classes and local Euler obstructions

Let X=G/PX=G/P be a cominuscule space, and let v,wWPv,w\in W^P. Write the Mather class of the Schubert variety XwPX_w^P as

cMa(XwP)=vwaw,v[XvP].{c_{\operatorname{Ma}}}(X_w^P)=\sum_{v\leq w}a_{w,v}[X_v^P].

The local Euler obstruction coefficients ew,ve_{w,v} are non-negative. Moreover, the Schubert coefficients aw,va_{w,v} are non-negative, and the analogous positivity statement holds equivariantly. This conjecture predicts positivity for characteristic classes and singularity invariants of Schubert varieties in cominuscule spaces; the source gives no resolution status.
