ULC+ implies negative association

About 22 years old · traced to

Let μ\mu be a measure on a Boolean lattice. It is ULC+ when every measure obtained from it by imposing an external field and projecting is ULC. ULC implication conjecture. If μ\mu is ULC+, then μ\mu is CNA, hence CNA+, and in particular μ\mu is negatively associated. The paper describes this as philosophically useful but difficult to apply because verifying ULC+ is hard; it was presented as open.
