Counterexamples to the Neggers-Stanley conjecture

The Neggers-Stanley conjecture (also known as the Poset conjecture) asserts that the polynomial counting the linear extensions of a partially ordered set on \1,2,...,p\ by their number of descents has real zeros only. We provide counterexamples to this conjecture.
