Counterexamples to the Neggers-Stanley conjecture

Combinatorics 2012-04-18 v2

Abstract

The Neggers-Stanley conjecture (also known as the Poset conjecture) asserts that the polynomial counting the linear extensions of a partially ordered set on {1,2,...,p}\{1,2,...,p\} by their number of descents has real zeros only. We provide counterexamples to this conjecture.
