Brenti's log-concavity conjecture for Eulerian polynomials of labeled posets
Brenti's log-concavity conjecture for Eulerian polynomials of labeled posets
Let be a poset with a labeling , and let be its Jordan--Hölder set. Define the -Eulerian polynomial by
Brenti's conjecture. The polynomial is log-concave with no internal zeroes.
The conjecture was posed by Brenti in 1989 after the Neggers--Stanley real-rootedness conjecture was disproved. The source states that it remains open for general labeled posets; it concerns unimodality and log-concavity of these descent-generating polynomials.
