Smooth Schubert enumeration conjecture for signed permutations
Let be the group of signed permutations of size , and let denote the signed permutations in that globally avoid the patterns and . Smooth Schubert varieties in type A are indexed by permutations avoiding and .
Smooth Schubert enumeration conjecture. The number of signed permutations in that simultaneously index smooth Schubert varieties in types B and C is equal to the number of permutations in that index a smooth type-A Schubert variety; equivalently,
The conjecture is motivated by computations for small and predicts an equality between a type-B/C signed-permutation enumeration and the classical type-A smooth-Schubert enumeration. Its status is unresolved in the supplied source.
