Signed Countings of types B and D permutations and $t,q$-Euler Numbers
Abstract
It is a classical result that the parity-balance of the number of weak excedances of all permutations (derangements, respectively) of length $n$ is the Euler number $E_n$, alternating in sign, if $n$ is odd (even, respectively). Josuat-Vergès obtained a $q$-analog of the results respecting the number of crossings of a permutation. One of the goals in this paper is to extend the results to the permutations (derangements, respectively) of types B and D, on the basis of the joint distribution in statistics excedances, crossings and the number of negative entries obtained by Corteel, Josuat-Vergès and Kim. Springer numbers are analogous Euler numbers that count the alternating permutations of type B, called snakes. Josuat-Vergès derived bivariate polynomials $Q_n(t,q)$ and $R_n(t,q)$ as generalized Euler numbers via successive $q$-derivatives and multiplications by $t$ on polynomials in $t$. The other goal in this paper is to give a combinatorial interpretation of $Q_n(t,q)$ and $R_n(t,q)$ as the enumerators of the snakes with restrictions.
