Whereas Stembridge's enriched $P$-partitions are related to quasisymmetric functions (the coalgebra dual to Solomon's type A descent algebra), our generalized enriched $P$-partitions are related to type B quasisymmetric functions (the coalgebra dual to Solomon's type B descent algebra). Using these functions, we explore three different peak algebras: the \"interior\" and \"left\" peak algebras of type A, and a new type B peak algebra. Our results specialize to results for commutative peak algebras as well.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-12-15T15:37:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05E99", "20F55", "06A07" ], "keywords": [ "extended abstract", "partitions", "solomons type", "quasisymmetric functions", "coalgebra dual" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005math.....12366P" } } }
