%0 Journal Article %T A short, based on the mixed volume, proof of Liggett's theorem on the convolution of ultra-logconcave sequences %A Leonid Gurvits %J Mathematics %D 2008 %I arXiv %X R. Pemantle conjectured, and T.M. Liggett proved in 1997, that the convolution of two ultra-logconcave is ultra-logconcave. Liggett's proof is elementary but long. We present here a short proof, based on the mixed volume of convex sets. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0804.1181v1
