Some identities involving second kind Stirling numbers of types $B$ and $D$

Combinatorics 2019-11-27 v1

Abstract

Using Reiner's definition of Stirling numbers of the second kind in types BB and DD, we generalize two well-known identities concerning the classical Stirling numbers of the second kind. The first identity relates them with Eulerian numbers and the second identity interprets them as entries in a transition matrix between the elements of two standard bases of the polynomial ring R[x]R[x]. Finally, we generalize these identities to the group of colored permutations Gm,nG_{m,n}.
