Precise statement

Chromatic quasisymmetric functions of natural unit interval graphs were conjectured to have log-concave coefficients in the elementary basis. A connected $13$-vertex example refutes it: for the Hessenberg function $h=(2,4,4,6,7,10,10,10,10,12,12,13,13)$ and $\lambda=(6,5,1,1)$ the coefficients of $q^5,q^6,q^7$ are $1,6,38$, and $6^2 < 1 \cdot 38$. The coefficient is still positive, palindromic and unimodal, so log-concavity is separated from the weaker shape properties that motivated the conjecture.

The source statement is reproduced for indexing with attribution. Mathematical correctness requires domain-expert or mechanical review. VibeMath has not independently audited statement fidelity, correctness, priority, or novelty.

The disclosure describes a computer-assisted investigation in which the model was used extensively as an interactive research assistant: it generated and revised the exploratory and verification code, ran independent computational cross-checks, searched the literature, and helped organize and draft the manuscript. The author states that no assertion is accepted on the authority of model output.
