Combinatorics of (q,y)-Laguerre Polynomials and Their Moments

Abstract. We consider a (q,y)-analogue of Laguerre polynomials L(α)n(x;y|q) for integral α >= -1, which turns out to be a rescaled version of Al-Salam-Chihara polynomials. A combinatorial interpretation for the (q,y)-Laguerre polynomials is given using a colored version of Foata and Strehl's Laguerre configurations with suitable statistics. When α >= 0, the corresponding moments are described using certain classical statistics on permutations, and the linearization coefficients are proved to be a polynomial in y and q with nonnegative integral coefficients.
