We study statistics on ordered set partitions whose generating functions are related to $p,q$-Stirling numbers of the second kind. The main purpose of this paper is to provide bijective proofs of all the conjectures of \stein…

Our first main result shows that, for words with a fixed multiset of weak right-to-left minima, the statistics within each of the following three classes are equidistributed: 1. Mahonian statistics: $\textsf{inv}$, $\textsf{maj}$,…

We introduce a statistic $\pmaj$ on partitions of $[n]=\{1,2,..., n\}$, and show that it is equidistributed with the number of 2-crossings over partitions of $[n]$ with given sets of minimal block elements and maximal block elements. This…

We introduce the notion of a Mahonian pair. Consider the set, P^*, of all words having the positive integers as alphabet. Given finite subsets S,T of P^*, we say that (S,T) is a Mahonian pair if the distribution of the major index, maj,…

We prove that the pair of statistics (des,maj) on multiset permutations is equidistributed with the pair (stc,inv) on certain quotients of the symmetric group. We define the analogue of the statistic stc on multiset permutations, whose…

We give a direct combinatorial proof of the equidistribution of two pairs of permutation statistics, (des, aid) and (lec, inv), which have been previously shown to have the same joint distribution as (exc, maj), the major index and the…

Two well-known distributions in the study of permutation statistics are the Mahonian and Eulerian distributions. Mahonian statistics include the major index MAJ and the number of inversions INV, while examples of Eulerian statistics are the…

We introduce several statistics on ordered partitions of sets, that is, set partitions where the blocks are permuted arbitrarily. The distribution of these statistics is closely related to the q-Stirling numbers of the second kind. Some of…

Adin, Brenti, and Roichman introduced the pairs of statistics $(\ndes, \nmaj)$ and $(\fdes, \fmaj)$. They showed that these pairs are equidistributed over the hyperoctahedral group $B_n$, and can be considered "Euler-Mahonian" in that they…

Let $m\ge 2$ be a fixed positive integer. Suppose that $m^j \leq n< m^{j+1}$ is a positive integer for some $j\ge 0$. Denote $b_{m}(n)$ the number of $m$-ary partitions of $n$, where each part of the partition is a power of $m$. In this…

Let $A_k(n)$ denote the set of $k$-distinct partitions of $n$, and let $B_k(n)$ be the set of $k$-regular partitions of $n$. Glaisher showed that $\# A_k(n) = \# B_k(n)$. For $k=2$, this equality yields the celebrated Euler's partition…

We prove a lemma that is useful to get upper bounds for the number of partitions without a given subsum. From this we can deduce an improved upper bound for the number of sets represented by the (unrestricted or into unequal parts)…

A set partition $\sigma$ of $[n]=\{1,\dots,n\}$ contains another set partition $\pi$ if restricting $\sigma$ to some $S\subseteq[n]$ and then standardizing the result gives $\pi$. Otherwise we say $\sigma$ avoids $\pi$. For all sets of…
