Positivity conjecture for equivariant motivic Chern classes of Schubert cells

From papers

Let G/BG/B be a complete flag manifold with Weyl group WW, and write the equivariant motivic Chern class of a Schubert cell as

MCyT(X(w))=uwcu,w(y,et)OuTKT(G/B)[y].MC_y^{T}(X(w)^\circ)=\sum_{u\leq w}c_{u,w}(y,e^t)\mathcal O_u^{T}\in K_{\mathbb{T}}(G/B)[y].

Positivity conjecture for motivic Chern classes. For every uwWu\leq w\in W,

(1)(w)(u)cw,u(y,et)Z0[y][eα1,,eαr].(-1)^{\ell(w)-\ell(u)}c_{w,u}(y,e^t)\in {\mathbb Z}_{\geq 0}[y][e^{-\alpha_1},\ldots,e^{-\alpha_r}].

Equivalently, the coefficients (1)(w)(u)cu,w(y,et)(-1)^{\ell(w)-\ell(u)}c_{u,w}(y,e^t) should be polynomials in yy and eα1,,eαre^{-\alpha_1},\ldots,e^{-\alpha_r} with non-negative coefficients. The conjecture is known after specializing y=0y=0, and has been checked computationally in the listed low-rank cases, but remains open in general.
