How should the proof of the XYZ theorem be understood?
The XYZ Theorem of Shepp [1] states the following for a given poset $P$. Consider the probability space of all the linear extensions of $P$, where each possible extension is equally likely. Then for a …

Does $\sum_{|S| \text{ even}} f(S) \le \sum_{|T| \text{ even}} f(T)$ hold for all nondecreas...
Assuming the inequality you would like to prove has the sum over odd subsets on the RHS, then you could consider the following counter-example for $n=3$: $f(\emptyset)=0$, $f(\{i\})=1$, $f(\{i, j\})=2 …

Non-singular matrix with restricted entries
Given a set $S$ of integers with $1 \not\in S$, let us consider the set $\mathcal{M}$ of all the symmetric matrices $M$, such that:
All the diagonal entries of $M$ are equal to $1$.
All the off-diag …

Generalization of Cauchy's eigenvalue interlacing theorem?
Cauchy's Interlacing Theorem says that given an $n \times n$ symmetric matrix $A$, let $B$ be an $(n-1) \times (n-1)$ principal submatrix of it, then the eigenvalues of $A$ and those of $B$ interlace. …
