CombinaTexas 2018 February 10 – 11 , 2018

In this talk we give combinatorial proofs of q-Stirling identities using restricted growth words. This includes a poset theoretic proof of Carlitz’s identity, a new proof of the q-Frobenius identity of Garsia and Remmel and of Ehrenborg’s Hankel q-Stirling determinantal identity. We also develop a two parameter generalization to unify identities of Mercier and include a symmetric function versi...
