Symmetric-group log-concavity conjecture for the ideals I(n) and J(n)

Less than 1 year old · traced to

For each positive integer nn, let I(n)I(n) and J(n)J(n) be the ideals in the polynomial ring C[x([n]2)]{\mathbb C}[{\mathbf x}_{\binom{[n]}{2}}] on variables indexed by the two-element subsets of [n][n], with the quotient modules carrying the natural Sn{\mathfrak S}_n-action. A graded Sn{\mathfrak S}_n-module is Sn{\mathfrak S}_n-log-concave when its graded pieces admit the required equivariant injections between adjacent tensor products. Symmetric-group log-concavity conjecture. For integers n>0n>0, both

C[x([n]2)]/I(n){\mathbb C}\Big[{\mathbf{x}}_{\binom{[n]}{2}}\Big]\Big/I(n)

and

C[x([n]2)]/J(n){\mathbb C}\Big[{\mathbf{x}}_{\binom{[n]}{2}}\Big]\Big/J(n)

are Sn{\mathfrak S}_n-log-concave. The conjecture was verified computationally for n≤20n\le 20, but no general proof is given.
