چکیده

Louis Solomon showed that the group algebra of the symmetric group Sn has a subalgebra called the descent algebra, generated by sums of permutations with a given descent set. In fact, he showed that every Coxeter group has something that can be called a descent algebra. There is also a commutative, semisimple subalgebra of Solomon’s descent algebra generated by sums of permutations with the same number of descents: an “Eulerian” descent algebra. For any Coxeter group that is also a Weyl group, Paola Cellini proved the existence of a different Eulerian subalgebra based on a modified definition of descent. We derive the existence of Cellini’s subalgebra for the case of the symmetric group and of the hyperoctahedral group using a variation on Richard Stanley’s theory of P-partitions.

Enumeration of Partitions by Long Rises, Levels, and Descents

When the partitions of [n] = {1, 2, . . . , n} are identified with the restricted growth functions on [n], under a known bijection, certain enumeration problems for classical word statistics are formulated for set partitions. In this paper we undertake the enumeration of partitions of [n] with respect to the number of occurrences of rises, levels and descents, of arbitrary integral length not e...

Some Remarks on the Joint Distribution of Descents and Inverse Descents

We study the joint distribution of descents and inverse descents over the set of permutations of n letters. Gessel conjectured that the two-variable generating function of this distribution can be expanded in a given basis with nonnegative integer coefficients. We investigate the action of the Eulerian operators that give the recurrence for these generating functions. As a result we devise a re...

Linked Partitions and Permutation Tableaux

Linked partitions were introduced by Dykema in the study of transforms in free probability theory, whereas permutation tableaux were introduced by Steingŕımsson and Williams in the study of totally positive Grassmannian cells. Let [n] = {1, 2, . . . , n}. Let L(n, k) denote the set of linked partitions of [n] with k blocks, let P (n, k) denote the set of permutations of [n] with k descents, and...
