Conjecture on log-concavity and unimodality of involution statistics
Conjecture on log-concavity and unimodality of involution statistics
For , let and denote the major-index and inversion generating polynomials over involutions, and let , , and be the corresponding inversion polynomials for the types named in the source. For a polynomial , write for the coefficient of .
The conjecture. For all :
- The sequence is log-concave.
- For ,
- The sequences and are unimodal.
- The sequences and are unimodal.
- The sequences and are unimodal.
The conjecture extends the original log-concavity conjecture. The supplied passage reports numerical log-concavity through and notes that the relevant roots are not real and do not lie in the stated triangular region, but gives no resolution of these assertions.
