Heim–Neuhauser–Tröger's log-concavity conjecture for the plane partition function

From papers

Let PL(n)\mathrm{PL}(n) denote the number of plane partitions of size nn. A sequence is log-concave if PL(n)2PL(n1)PL(n+1)\mathrm{PL}(n)^2\geq \mathrm{PL}(n-1)\mathrm{PL}(n+1) whenever the relevant indices are defined.

Heim–Neuhauser–Tröger's conjecture. The function PL(n)\mathrm{PL}(n) is log-concave for every integer n12n\geq 12.

Heim, Neuhauser, and Tröger proved log-concavity for sufficiently large nn; the conjecture asserts the explicit threshold n=12n=12. The present paper proves this conjecture.
