Variations of the (α,t)-Eulerian Polynomials and Gamma-Positivity

Abstract. We define a multivariable generalization of the Eulerian polynomials using linear and descent based statistics of permutations and establish the connection with the (α,t)-Eulerian polynomials based on cyclic and excedance based statistics of permutations. As applications of this connection, we obtain the exponential generating function for the multivariable Eulerian polynomials and γ-positive formulas of two variants of Eulerian polynomials. We also show that enumerating the cycle AndrĂ© permutations with respect to the number of drops, fixed points and cycles gives rise to the normalised γ-vectors of the (α,t)-Eulerian polynomials. Our result generalizes and unifies several recent results in the literature.
