Positivity of Chern classes of Schubert cells and varieties

Algebraic Geometry 2014-06-03 v3 Combinatorics

Abstract

We show that the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson class of a Schubert cell in a Grassmannian is represented by a reduced and irreducible subvariety in each degree. This gives an affirmative answer to a positivity conjecture of Aluffi and Mihalcea.
