Sahi's positivity conjecture for coefficients of the geometric-mean expansion
Sahi's positivity conjecture for coefficients of the geometric-mean expansion
Let be an FKG poset, and let be a sequence of positive monotone decreasing functions on . Form the formal power series
and define its geometric mean by
Sahi's coefficient-positivity conjecture. For every , the coefficient satisfies
The conjecture is a formal-power-series reformulation of the generalized inequalities , motivated by potential applications of the FKG inequality in probability, combinatorics, statistics, and physics. Its resolution is not given in the source.
