Summary: R. Pemantle conjectured, and \textit{T.M. Liggett} proved in J. Comb. Theory, Ser. A 79, No.\,2, 315--325 (1997; Zbl 0888.60013), that the convolution of two ultra-logconcave is ultra-logconcave. Liggett's proof is elementary but long. We present here a short proof, based on the mixed volume of convex sets.
