The Anari-Oveis Gharan-Vinzant perfect-matching entropy conjecture

Theorem 1.1: for a loopless multigraph on 2m≥22m\ge2 vertices with a perfect matching and every x∈P(G)x\in P(G), boundary included, F(x)−(2−2/m)B(x)≤H(x)≤F(x)F(x)-(2-2/m)B(x)\le H(x)\le F(x), where H(x)H(x) is the maximum entropy of a law on perfect matchings with marginals xx. Hence log⁡N(G)≤max⁡x∈P(G)(F+B)≤log⁡N(G)+3m−2\log N(G)\le\max_{x\in P(G)}(F+B)\le\log N(G)+3m-2, the conjectured linear error with an explicit constant. Also proved: the sharp bound ∣supp x∣−dim⁡Fx≤3m−2|\mathrm{supp}\,x|-\dim F_x\le3m-2 for the minimal face, and lower counts such as N(G)≥e−2(m−1)kmN(G)\ge e^{-2(m-1)}k^m for kk-regular graphs with all odd cuts of size at least kk. The paper notes the bipartite coefficient-one inequality H≥F−BH\ge F-B fails for a nonbipartite eight-vertex example.
