Commuting Eulerian operators

Combinatorics 2022-10-25 v1

Abstract

Motivated by the work of Visontai and Dey-Sivasubramanian on the gamma-positivity of some polynomials, we find the commutative property of a pair of Eulerian operators. As an application, we show the bi-gamma-positivity of the descent polynomials on permutations of the multiset {1a1,2a2,,nan}\{1^{a_1},2^{a_2},\ldots,n^{a_n}\}, where 0ai20\leqslant a_i\leqslant 2. Therefore, these descent polynomials are all alternatingly increasing, and so they are unimodal with modes in the middle.
