Chollet's permanent conjecture for positive semidefinite matrices

Let A,Be0A,B e 0 be Hermitian positive semidefinite matrices of the same size, and let A∘BA\circ B denote their Hadamard product. Chollet's conjecture.

per⁡(A∘B)≤per⁡(A) per⁡(B).\operatorname{per}(A\circ B)\leq \operatorname{per}(A)\,\operatorname{per}(B).

The conjecture is a permanent analogue of determinant inequalities for Hadamard products of positive semidefinite matrices. For n≥5n\geq 5, it remains open.
