Chow-class coefficient conjecture for Schubert varieties of subspace arrangements

Let YVPnY_V \subset \mathbb{P}^{\mathbf n} be a Schubert variety of a subspace arrangement, and write its Chow class as

[YV]=bcb[Pb].[Y_V] = \sum_{\mathbf b} c_{\mathbf b}[\mathbb{P}^{\mathbf b}].

For a basis b=(b1,,bN)\mathbf b=(b_1,\ldots,b_N), Chow-class coefficient conjecture. The coefficient of [Pb][\mathbb{P}^{\mathbf b}] in [YV][Y_V] is

cb=(n1b1)(n2b2)(nNbN).c_{\mathbf b}=\binom{n_1}{b_1}\binom{n_2}{b_2}\cdots\binom{n_N}{b_N}.

The Chow class need not be multiplicity-free, and its coefficients may depend on n\mathbf n. The conjectured formula gives an explicit combinatorial expression for the coefficients corresponding to basis vectors; it is presented as open in the source.
