Equality of Segre–Stiefel–Whitney classes for Morin and corank-two singularities

About 1 year old · traced to

Let ll be an integer, and let A2‾(l+1)\overline{A_2}(l+1) and Σ‾2(l)\overline{\Sigma}^2(l) denote the corresponding singularity loci. Their Segre–Stiefel–Whitney classes are defined in the setting of the paper. Segre–Stiefel–Whitney class equality conjecture. The Segre-SW classes of A2‾(l+1)\overline{A_2}(l+1) and Σ‾2(l)\overline{\Sigma}^2(l) are equal. This conjecture is motivated by computations showing equality up to degree 88 for l=0l=0 and up to degree 1212 for l=1l=1, but no general proof is given.
