Wagner's Rayleigh-to-ULC Big Conjecture

Let Pn\mathfrak{P}_n be the probability measures on subsets of [n][n], and let a Rayleigh measure be a measure satisfying the Rayleigh negative-dependence inequalities. Let ULC mean that its rank sequence is ultra-log-concave. Wagner's Big Conjecture. Every Rayleigh measure μPn\mu\in\mathfrak{P}_n is ULC. The source later gives counterexamples to this conjecture, so it is refuted.
