Chan–Pak conjecture on the log-concavity of minimum positions in linear extensions
Let be a finite poset, let , and let be a uniformly random linear extension of . Define
Chan–Pak conjecture. For every , the sequence of probabilities of the minimum position is log-concave:
This conjecture generalizes Stanley's log-concavity theorem, recovered when . The source presents it as a conjecture, and no resolution is supplied here.
