Inequality for symmetric polynomial functions of log concave variables
Let $(x_i)_{i \ge 1}$ be a log-concave (resp. log-convex) sequence of non-negative real variables. In other words, for $i \ge 2$, we have $x_i^2 \ge x_{i-1}x_{i+1}$ (resp. $x_i^2 \le x_{i-1}x_{i+1}$).

Positivity of elementary symmetric polynomials under linear fractional transformations
The general question
For $1\leq k\leq n$, let $$e_k(a_1,\dots,a_n):=\sum_{j_1<\dots<j_k}a_{j_1}\cdots a_{j_k}$$ be the $k$-th elementary symmetric polynomial.
Let $a_1,\dots,a_n<1$ and $e_1(...
