  A local ring R is said to be a Roberts ring if tau_R([R]) = [Spec R]_dim R,
where tau_R is the Riemann-Roch map for Spec R. Such rings satisfy a vanishing
theorem for the Serre intersection multiplicity, as was established by Paul
Roberts in his proof of the Serre vanishing conjecture. It is known that
complete intersections are Roberts rings, and the first author proved that a
determinantal ring is a Roberts ring precisely if it is complete intersection.
Let A_d(n) denote the affine cone of the Grassmannian G_d(n) under the Plucker
embedding. We determine which of the rings A_d(n) are Roberts rings.
