Nonnegativity conjecture for Schubert expansions of transparent diagrams

Let DD be a diagram, and write its flagged Schur character in the Schubert-polynomial basis as

SD=wcDwSw,\mathfrak{S}_D=\sum_w c^w_D\,\mathfrak{S}_w,

where the sum is over all permutations and cDwc^w_D are integers. A diagram is called transparent when it has the transparency property defined in the paper. Nonnegativity conjecture. When DD is transparent, the coefficients cDwc^w_D are nonnegative:

cDw0c^w_D\geq 0

for every permutation ww. This conjecture predicts Schubert positivity for the characters of flagged Schur modules associated with transparent diagrams; the source motivates it through computer experimentation, while noting that related classes such as translucent and percentage-avoiding diagrams can have negative coefficients.
