Ultra log-concavity of discrete order statistics

In this work we show that discrete order statistics preserve log-concavity and ultra log-concavity. We use a recursive expression for discrete order statistics and the concept of synchronized sequences. This finding allows to conclude that Poisson order statistics are underdispersed.
