Let $B_{n,k},C_{n,k},P_{n,k},Q_{n,k}$ be the number of even permutations with $k$ descents, odd permutations with $k$ descents, even permutations with $k$ excedances and odd permutations with $k$ excedances respectively. We show that the four sequences are ultra-synchronised for all $n\\ge 5$. This proves a strengthening of two conjectures of Dey.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-04-02T09:45:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A05", "05A20" ], "keywords": [ "excedance enumerators", "alternating subgroup", "odd permutations", "real numbers", "ultra-synchronicity" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
