The monotone conjecture for arbitrary Schubert problems on flag manifolds
The monotone conjecture for arbitrary Schubert problems on flag manifolds
Let with , and let be a Schubert problem for . For each permutation , let be its set of descents. A list is monotone with respect to when the map is monotone for an ordering compatible with some orientation of . General monotone conjecture. The intersection
is transverse and all its points of intersection are real whenever the points are monotone with respect to . The conjecture extends the Grassmannian formulation to arbitrary Schubert problems; the source notes examples with no monotone points and reports computational evidence, but the general assertion remains open.
