Bóna–Lackner–Sagan's log-concavity conjecture for even-column tableaux

About 9 years old · traced to

Fix a positive integer nn, and let Θ\Theta be the set of partitions of nn all of whose column lengths are even. Let ℓn,kΘ\ell_{n,k}^{\Theta} denote the corresponding quantity associated in the paper with standard Young tableaux and largest part kk. Bóna–Lackner–Sagan's conjecture. For any fixed nn, the sequence {ℓn,kΘ}k=1n\{{\ell}_{n,k}^{\Theta}\}_{k=1}^{n} is log-concave. This is presented as a companion to Chen's perfect-matching conjecture; the supplied text gives no resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
