In 2010, Brasselet, Schürmann and Yokura conjectured an equality of characteristic classes of singular varieties between the Goresky-MacPherson L-class L_*(X) and the Hirzebruch homology class T1*(X) for a compact complex algebraic variety X that is a rational homology manifold. In this note we give a proof of this conjecture for projective varieties based on cubical hyperresolutions, the Decomposition Theorem, and Hodge theory. The crucial step of the proof is a new characterization of rational homology manifolds in terms of cubical hyperresolutions which we find of independent interest.
