Abstract
This is a survey on recent developments on unimodality, log-concavity and real-rootedness in combinatorics. Stanley and Brenti have written extensive surveys of various techniques that can be used to prove real-rootedness, log-concavity or unimodality. After a brief introduction, we will complement these surveys with a survey over some new techniques that have been developed, as well as problems and conjectures that have been solved. This is a draft of a chapter to appear in Handbook of Enumerative Combinatorics, published by CRC Press.
