Abstract
We prove that various sequences of elementary and complete homogeneous symmetric functions are log concave or PF. As corollaries we show that certain sequences of $q$-binomial coefficients and $q$-Stirling numbers have these properties. The principal technique used is a combinatorial interpretation of determinants using lattice paths due to Gessel and Viennot [G-V 85].
