Chollet's permanent conjecture for positive semidefinite matrices

From papers

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

per(AB)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 n5n\geq 5, it remains open.
