International audience A result of Foata and Schützenberger states that two statistics on permutations, the number of inversions and the inverse major index, have the same distribution on a descent class. We give a multivariate generalization of this property: the sorted vectors of the Lehmer code, of the inverse majcode, and of a new code (the inverse saillance code), have the same distribution on a descent class, and their common multivariate generating function is a flagged ribbon Schur function.

International audience This paper contains two results. First, I propose a $q$-generalization of a certain sequence of positive integers, related to Catalan numbers, introduced by Zeilberger, see Lassalle (2010). These $q$-integers are palindromic polynomials in $q$ with positive integer coefficients. The positivity depends on the positivity of a certain difference of products of $q$-binomial coefficients.To this end, I introduce a new inversion/major statistics on lattice walks. The difference in $q$-binomial coefficients is then seen as a generating function of weighted walks that remain in the upper half-plan. Cet document contient deux résultats. Tout d’abord, je vous propose un $q$-generalization d’une certaine séquence de nombres entiers positifs, liés à nombres de Catalan, introduites par Zeilberger (Lassalle, 2010). Ces $q$-integers sont des polynômes palindromiques à $q$ à coefficients entiers positifs. La positivité dépend de la positivité d’une certaine différence de produits de $q$-coefficients binomial.Pour ce faire, je vous présente une nouvelle inversion/major index sur les chemins du réseau. La différence de $q$-binomial coefficients est alors considérée comme une fonction de génération de trajets pondérés qui restent dans le demi-plan supérieur.

International audience It is known that the number of minimal factorizations of the long cycle in the symmetric group into a product of k cycles of given lengths has a very simple formula: it is nk−1 where n is the rank of the underlying symmetric group and k is the number of factors. In particular, this is nn−2 for transposition factorizations. The goal of this work is to prove a multivariate generalization of this result. As a byproduct, we get a multivariate analog of Postnikov's hook length formula for trees, and a refined enumeration of final chains of noncrossing partitions.

Cette Action

International audience We show that the set $R(w_0)$ of reduced expressions for the longest element in the hyperoctahedral group exhibits the cyclic sieving phenomenon. More specifically, $R(w_0)$ possesses a natural cyclic action given by moving the first letter of a word to the end, and we show that the orbit structure of this action is encoded by the generating function for the major index on $R(w_0)$. Nous montrons que l'ensemble $R(w_0)$ des expressions réduites pour l'élément le plus long du groupe hyperoctaédral présente le phénomène cyclique de tamisage. Plus précisément, $R(w_0)$ possède une action naturelle cyclique donnée par le déplacement de la première lettre d'un mot vers la fin, et nous montrons que la structure d'orbite de cette action est codée par la fonction génératrice pour l'indice majeur sur $R(w_0)$.

Combinatorics International audience A composition is a sequence of positive integers, called parts, having a fixed sum. By an m-congruence succession, we will mean a pair of adjacent parts x and y within a composition such that x=y(modm). Here, we consider the problem of counting the compositions of size n according to the number of m-congruence successions, extending recent results concerning successions on subsets and permutations. A general formula is obtained, which reduces in the limiting case to the known generating function formula for the number of Carlitz compositions. Special attention is paid to the case m=2, where further enumerative results may be obtained by means of combinatorial arguments. Finally, an asymptotic estimate is provided for the number of compositions of size n having no m-congruence successions.

International audience In this paper, we give the multivariate generating function counting texts according to their length and to the number of occurrences of words from a finite set. The application of the inclusion-exclusion principle to word counting due to Goulden and Jackson (1979, 1983) is used to derive the result. Unlike some other techniques which suppose that the set of words is reduced (<i>i..e.</i>, where no two words are factor of one another), the finite set can be chosen arbitrarily. Noonan and Zeilberger (1999) already provided a MAPLE package treating the non-reduced case, without giving an expression of the generating function or a detailed proof. We give a complete proof validating the use of the inclusion-exclusion principle and compare the complexity of the method proposed here with the one using automata for solving the problem.

We prove a multivariate generalization of this conjecture for the special case of threshold graphs. Nous étudions une conjecture de Haglund qui affirme que certaines polynômes des graphes ont uniquement des racines réelles. Nous prouvons une généralisation multivariée de cette conjecture pour le cas particulier des graphes à seuil.

Special Case

International audience A poset is said to be (2+2)-free if it does not contain an induced subposet that is isomorphic to 2+2, the union of two disjoint 2-element chains. In a recent paper, Bousquet-Mélou et al. found, using so called ascent sequences, the generating function for the number of (2+2)-free posets: $P(t)=∑_n≥ 0 ∏_i=1^n ( 1-(1-t)^i)$. We extend this result by finding the generating function for (2+2)-free posets when four statistics are taken into account, one of which is the number of minimal elements in a poset. We also show that in a special case when only minimal elements are of interest, our rather involved generating function can be rewritten in the form $P(t,z)=∑_n,k ≥0 p_n,k t^n z^k = 1+ ∑_n ≥0\frac{zt}{(1-zt)^n+1}∏_i=1^n (1-(1-t)^i)$ where $p_n,k$ equals the number of (2+2)-free posets of size $n$ with $k$ minimal elements. Un poset sera dit (2+2)-libre s'il ne contient aucun sous-poset isomorphe à 2+2, l'union disjointe de deux chaînes à deux éléments. Dans un article récent, Bousquet-Mélou et al. ont trouvé, à l'aide de "suites de montées'', la fonction génératrice des nombres de posets (2+2)-libres: c'est $P(t)=∑_n≥ 0 ∏_i=1^n ( 1-(1-t)^i)$. Nous étendons ce résultat en trouvant la fonction génératrice des posets (\textrm2+2)-libres rendant compte de quatre statistiques, dont le nombre d'éléments minimaux du poset. Nous montrons aussi que lorsqu'on ne s'intéresse qu'au nombre d'éléments minimaux, notre fonction génératrice assez compliquée peut être simplifiée en$P(t,z)=∑_n,k ≥0 p_n,k t^n z^k = 1+ ∑_n ≥0\frac{zt}{(1-zt)^n+1}∏_i=1^n (1-(1-t)^i)$, où $p_n,k$ est le nombre de posets (2+2)-libres de taille $n$ avec $k$ éléments minimaux.

International audience We use the modules introduced by Kraśkiewicz and Pragacz (1987, 2004) to show some positivity propertiesof Schubert polynomials. We give a new proof to the classical fact that the product of two Schubert polynomialsis Schubert-positive, and also show a new result that the plethystic composition of a Schur function with a Schubertpolynomial is Schubert-positive. The present submission is an extended abstract on these results and the full versionof this work will be published elsewhere. Nous employons les modules introduits par Kraśkiewicz et Pragacz (1987, 2004) et démontrons certainespropriétés de positivité des polynômes de Schubert: nous donnons une nouvelle preuve pour le fait classique quele produit de deux polynômes de Schubert est Schubert-positif; nous démontrons aussi un nouveau résultat que lacomposition plethystique d’une fonction de Schur avec un polynôme de Schubert est Schubert-positif. Cet article estun sommaire de ces résultats, et une version pleine de ce travail sera publée ailleurs.
