This proofs a general nontrivial case of the Lieb-Seiringer formulation of the Bessis-Moussa-Villani conjecture which is a long standing problem in theoretical physics.5 pages; typos corrected; accepted for publication in Journal of Statistical PhysicsFunctional AnalysisOperator AlgebrasProof of the cases $p \leq 7$ of the Lieb-Seiringer formulation of the Bessis-Moussa-Villani conjecturetext
