Ma-Ma-Yeh made a beautiful observation that a transformation of the grammar of Dumont instantly leads to the $\gamma$-positivity of the Eulerian polynomials. We notice that the transformed grammar bears a striking resemblance to the grammar…

Carlitz and Scoville introduced the polynomials $A_n(x,y|{\alpha},{\beta})$, which we refer to as the $(\alpha, \beta)$-Eulerian polynomials. These polynomials count permutations based on Eulerian-Stirling statistics, including descents,…

It is well known that ascents, descents and plateaux are equidistributed over the set of classical Stirling permutations. Their common enumerative polynomials are the second-order Eulerian polynomials, which have been extensively studied by…

A sequence of representations \(V_n\) of the symmetric group \(S_n\) is called representation (multiplicity) stable if, after some \(n\), the irreducible decomposition of \(V_n\) stabilizes. In particular, Church, Ellenburg and Farb (2015)…
