Rank and crank log-concavity conjectures

Let M(m,n)M(m,n) and N(m,n)N(m,n) denote respectively the number of partitions of nn with crank mm and rank mm. Rank and crank log-concavity conjecture. The inequalities

M(m,n)2M(m1,n)M(m+1,n)M(m,n)^2\ge M(m-1,n)M(m+1,n)

hold for n71n\ge71 and mn71|m|\le n-71, and

N(m,n)2N(m1,n)N(m+1,n)N(m,n)^2\ge N(m-1,n)N(m+1,n)

hold for n72n\ge72 and mn72|m|\le n-72. These conjectures motivate the paper's generalization to Garvan kk-rank statistics.
