Strong positivity conjecture for CSM classes of Schubert cells

From papers

Let G/PG/P be a partial flag manifold, and let X(wWP)G/PX(wW_P)^\circ \subseteq G/P be a Schubert cell. Write its CSM class in the Schubert basis as

cSM(X(wWP))=vwcv,w[X(vWP)]H(G/P;Z).{c_{\operatorname{SM}}}(X(wW_P)^\circ) = \sum_{v \le w} c_{v,w} [X(vW_P)] \quad \in H_*(G/P;{\mathbb Z}).

Strong positivity conjecture. One has cv,w>0c_{v,w}>0 for every vwv\le w. The weaker non-negativity assertion is known, but strict positivity remains the stronger conjectural statement.
