Cofiber Morava K-theory dimension formula conjecture for real Grassmannians

Let Cd(Rm)C_d({\mathbb R}^m) be the cofiber of the inclusion Grd(Rm1)Grd(Rm)\operatorname{Gr}_d({\mathbb R}^{m-1})\hookrightarrow\operatorname{Gr}_d({\mathbb R}^m), and let kˉn(Cd(Rm))\bar k_n(C_d({\mathbb R}^m)) denote its reduced Morava K-theory dimension. Let n1n\geq 1, let ϵ\epsilon be 00 or 11, and let l0l\geq 0, with m=2n+1ϵ+2lm=2^{n+1}-\epsilon+2l. Cofiber Morava K-theory dimension formula conjecture. Equality should hold in the proved lower bound, namely

kˉn(Cd(Rm))=i(2n+11ϵd12i)(li).\bar k_n(C_d({\mathbb R}^m))=\sum_i\binom{2^{n+1}-1-\epsilon}{d-1-2i}\binom{l}{i}.

The conjecture is motivated by a corresponding calculation of the QnQ_n-homology of the cofiber and would determine the lower bound exactly. It remains open.
