Abstract

The classical Eulerian polynomials An(t)A_n(t) are known to be gamma positive. Define the positive Eulerian polynomial An+(t)A_n^+(t) as the polynomial obtained when we sum descents over the alternating group. We show that An+(t)A_n^+(t) is gamma positive iff n0,1n \equiv 0,1 (mod 4). When n2n \equiv 2 (mod 4) we show that An+(t)A_n^+(t) can be written as a sum of two gamma positive polynomials while if n3n \equiv 3 (mod 4), we show that An+(t)A_n^+(t) can be written as a sum of three gamma positive polynomials. Similar results are shown when we consider the positive type-D and type-D Eulerian polynomials.
