Involutions on Baxter Objects

Combinatorics 2014-02-13 v1

Abstract

Baxter numbers are known to count several families of combinatorial objects, all of which come equipped with natural involutions. In this paper, we add a combinatorial family to the list, and show that the known bijections between these objects respect these involutions. We also give a formula for the number of objects fixed under this involution, showing that it is an instance of Stembridge's "q=1q=-1 phenomenon".
