Positivity conjecture for Chern–Schwartz–MacPherson classes of Schubert cells
Let be a partition indexing a Schubert variety and its Schubert cell . Write the Chern–Schwartz–MacPherson class in the Schubert basis as
Positivity conjecture. For all , is represented by an effective cycle. Equivalently, the coefficients are nonnegative for all . Substantial computer experimentation suggests this positivity, but the source gives no proof or resolution of the conjecture.
