Unimodality conjecture for the qq-factorial quotient

For n2n\geqslant 2, define

Pn(q)=[6n]![n]![3n]![2n]!2,P_n(q)=\frac{[6n]![n]!}{[3n]![2n]!^2},

where [m]!=(1q)(1q2)(1qm)[m]!=(1-q)(1-q^2)\cdots(1-q^m). Unimodality conjecture. The polynomial Pn(q)P_n(q) is unimodal. The polynomial is known to be reciprocal, and the conjectured unimodality would imply non-negative coefficients for two polynomials in Theorem 2; the supplied text gives no proof or disproof of this conjecture.
