On the Monotone Column Permanent conjecture

Abstract
English
We discuss some recent progress on the Monotone Column Permanent (MCP) conjecture. We use a general method for proving that a univariate polynomial has real roots only, namely by showing that a corresponding multivariate polynomial is stable. Recent connections between stability of polynomials and the strong Rayleigh property revealed by Brändén allows for a computationally feasible check of stability for multi-affine polynomials. Using this method we obtain a simpler proof for the $n=3$ case of the MCP conjecture, and a new proof for the $n=4$ case. We also show a multivariate version of the stability of Eulerian polynomials for $n \leq 5$ which arises as a special case of the multivariate MCP conjecture.

Nous présentons des développements récents concernant la conjecture Monotone Column Permanent (MCP). Nous utilisons une méthode générale pour prouver qu’un polynôme univarié a uniquement des racines réelles, c’est-à-dire que nous prouvons qu’un polynôme correspondant a plusieurs variables est stable. Les nouveaux liens, établis par Brändén, entre la stabilité des polynômes et la propriété forte de Rayleigh, permettent de vérifier facilement la stabilité de polynômes multi-affines. En utilisant cette méthode nous obtenons une preuve plus simple pour la conjecture MCP pour le cas $n=3$, et la première preuve pour le cas $n=4$. Nous présentons également une version multivariée de stabilité des polynômes d’Euler pour le cas $n \leq 5$, qui apparaît comme un cas spécial de la conjecture MCP multivariée.
