Abstract

Let Φ\Phi be a root system. Postnikov introduced and studied the mixed Φ\Phi-Eulerian numbers. These numbers indicate the mixed volumes of Φ\Phi-hypersimplices. As specializations of these numbers, one can obtain the usual Eulerian numbers, the Catalan numbers, and the binomial coefficients. Recent work of Berget-Spink-Tseng gave a simple computation for the mixed Φ\Phi-Eulerian numbers when Φ\Phi is of type AA. In this paper we connect a relation between mixed Φ\Phi-Eulerian numbers and Peterson Schubert calculus. By using the connection, we provide a combinatorial model for the computation of Berget-Spink-Tseng in terms of left-right diagrams which were introduced by Abe-Horiguchi-Kuwata-Zeng for the purpose of Peterson Schubert calculus. We also derive a simple computation for the mixed Φ\Phi-Eulerian numbers in arbitrary Lie types from Peterson Schubert calculus.
