This is an expanded version of a 10-minute presentation in MATH 6422. I'll explain what matroids and their characteristic polynomials as well as log-concavity mean, and then sketch a proof due to Petter Brändén and Jonathan Leake (arXiv:2110.00487). If time permits, I'll describe several consequences of this and/or other existing yet different proofs.
