Abstract

The classical Eulerian polynomials An(t)A_n(t) are known to be gamma positive. Define the positive Eulerian polynomial AExc+n(t)\mathsf{AExc^{+}}_n(t) as the polynomial obtained when we sum excedances over the alternating group. We show that AExc+n(t)\mathsf{AExc^{+}}_n(t) is gamma positive iff n5n \geq 5 and n1n \equiv 1 (mod 2). When n4n \geq 4, and n0n \equiv 0 (mod 2) we show that AExc+n(t)\mathsf{AExc^{+}}_n(t) can be written as a sum of two gamma positive polynomials. Similar results are shown when we consider the positive type-D and type-D Eulerian polynomials. Finally, we show gamma positivity results when we sum excedances over derangements with positive and negative sign. Our main resuls is that the polynomial obtained by summing excedance over a conjugacy class indexed by λ\lambda is gamma positive.
