Proof of a conjecture of Graham and Lov\'asz concerning unimodality of coefficients of the distance characteristic polynomial of a tree

We establish a conjecture of Graham and Lov\'asz that the (normalized) coefficients of the distance characteristic polynomial of a tree are unimodal; we also prove they are log-concave.
