Properties of the enumerative polynomials for permutations, signed permutations and derangements, including generating functions and gamma-positivity are studied, which generalize and unify earlier results of Athanasiadis, Brenti, Chow, Petersen, Roselle, Stembridge, Shin and Zeng. In particular, we derive a formula expressing the joint distribution of excedance number and negative number statistics over the type B derangements in terms of the derangement polynomials.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-02-17T12:57:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A05" ], "keywords": [ "eulerian polynomials", "succession statistics", "gamma-positivity", "multivariate refinements", "negative number statistics" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 23, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
