Brenti's real-rootedness conjecture for labeled-poset Eulerian polynomials
Let be a finite poset of cardinality , and let be a labeling of , namely a bijection from to . Let be the Jordan–Hölder set of permutations obtained from linear extensions of , and define the labeled-poset Eulerian polynomial by
Brenti's conjecture. For any labeled poset , the polynomial has only real zeros as a polynomial in . This is the Poset Conjecture, also called the Neggers–Stanley Conjecture. The conjecture is presented in the source as a result attributed to Brenti, but the supplied material gives no resolution, so its database status remains open.
