Positivity conjecture for equivariant motivic Chern classes of Schubert cells

About 4 years old · traced to

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)∘)=∑u≤wcu,w(y,et)OuT∈KT(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 u≤w∈Wu\leq w\in W,

(−1)ℓ(w)−ℓ(u)cw,u(y,et)∈Z≥0[y][e−α1,…,e−αr].(-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)ℓ(w)−ℓ(u)cu,w(y,et)(-1)^{\ell(w)-\ell(u)}c_{u,w}(y,e^t) should be polynomials in yy and e−α1,…,e−αre^{-\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.
