Combinatorics International audience We present an extensive study of the Eulerian distribution on the set of centrosymmetric involutions, namely, involutions in S(n) satisfying the property sigma(i) + sigma(n + 1 - i) = n + 1 for every i = 1 ... n. We find some combinatorial properties for the generating polynomial of such distribution, together with an explicit formula for its coefficients. Afterwards, we carry out an analogous study for the subset of centrosymmetric involutions without fixed points.

The Ideal

International audience The Bruhat order gives a poset structure to any Coxeter group. The ideal of elements in this poset having boolean principal order ideals forms a simplicial poset. This simplicial poset defines the boolean complex for the group. In a Coxeter system of rank n, we show that the boolean complex is homotopy equivalent to a wedge of (n-1)-dimensional spheres. The number of these spheres is the boolean number, which can be computed inductively from the unlabeled Coxeter system, thus defining a graph invariant. For certain families of graphs, the boolean numbers have intriguing combinatorial properties. This work involves joint efforts with Claesson, Kitaev, and Ragnarsson. \par L'ordre de Bruhat munit tout groupe de Coxeter d'une structure de poset. L'idéal composé des éléments de ce poset engendrant des idéaux principaux ordonnés booléens, forme un poset simplicial. Ce poset simplicial définit le complexe booléen pour le groupe. Dans un système de Coxeter de rang n, nous montrons que le complexe booléen est homotopiquement équivalent à un bouquet de sphères de dimension (n-1). Le nombre de ces sphères est le nombre booléen, qui peut être calculé inductivement à partir du système de Coxeter non-étiquetté; définissant ainsi un invariant de graphe. Pour certaines familles de graphes, les nombres booléens satisfont des propriétés combinatoires intriguantes. Ce travail est une collaboration entre Claesson, Kitaev, et Ragnarsson.

International audience The Stanley chromatic polynomial of a graph $G$ is a symmetric function generalization of the chromatic polynomial, and has interesting combinatorial properties. We apply the ideas of Khovanov homology to construct a homology $H$<sub>*</sub>($G$) of graded $S_n$-modules, whose graded Frobenius series $Frob_G(q,t)$ reduces to the chromatic symmetric function at $q=t=1$. We also obtain analogues of several familiar properties of the chromatic symmetric polynomials in terms of homology. Le polynôme chromatique symétrique d’un graphe $G$ est une généralisation par une fonction symétrique du polynôme chromatique, et possède des propriétés combinatoires intéressantes. Nous appliquons les techniques de l’homologie de Khovanov pour construire une homologie $H$<sub>*</sub>($G$) de modules gradués $S_n$, dont la série bigraduée de Frobeniusse $Frob_G(q,t)$ réduit au polynôme chromatique symétrique à $q=t=1$. Nous obtenons également des analogies pour plusieurs propriétés connues des polynômes chromatiques en termes d’homologie.

New Statistics

International audience In a recent paper, Duane, Garsia, and Zabrocki introduced a new statistic, "ndinv'', on a family of parking functions. The definition was guided by a recursion satisfied by the polynomial $\langle\Delta_{h_m}C_p1C_p2...C_{pk}1,e_n\rangle$, for $\Delta_{h_m}$ a Macdonald eigenoperator, $C_{p_i}$ a modified Hall-Littlewood operator and $(p_1,p_2,\dots ,p_k)$ a composition of n. Using their new statistics, they are able to give a new interpretation for the polynomial $\langle\nabla e_n, h_j h_n-j\rangle$ as a q,t numerator of parking functions by area and ndinv. We recall that in the shuffle conjecture, parking functions are q,t enumerated by area and diagonal inversion number (dinv). Since their definition is recursive, they pose the problem of obtaining a non recursive definition. We solved this problem by giving an explicit formula for ndinv similar to the classical definition of dinv. In this paper, we describe the work we did to construct this formula and to prove that the resulting ndinv is the same as the one recursively defined by Duane, Garsia, and Zabrocki. Dans un travail récent Duane, Garsia et Zabrocki ont introduit une nouvelle statistique, "ndinv'' pour une famille de Fonctions Parking. Ce "ndinv" découle d'une récurrence satisfaite par le polynôme $\langle\Delta_{h_m}C_p1C_p2...C_{pk}1,e_n\rangle$, oú $\Delta_{h_m}$ est un opérateur linéaire avec fonctions propres les polynômes de Macdonald, les $C_{p_i}$ sont des opérateurs de Hall-Littlewood modifiés et $(p_1,p_2,\dots ,p_n)$ est un vecteur à composantes entières positives. Par moyen de cette statistique, ils ont réussi à donner une nouvelle interprétation combinatoire au polynôme $\langle\nabla e_n, h_j h_n-j\rangle$ on remplaçant "dinv'" par "ndinv". Rappelons nous que la conjecture "Shuffle"' exprime ce même polynôme comme somme pondérée de Fonctions Parking avec poids t à la "aire'" est q au "dinv". Puisque il donnent une définition récursive du "ndinv" il posent le problème de l'obtenir d'une façon directe. On rèsout se problème en donnant une formule explicite qui permet de calculer directement le "ndinv" à la manière de la formule classique du "dinv". Dans cet article on décrit le travail qu'on a fait pour construire cette formule et on démontre que nôtre formule donne le même "ndinv" récursivement construit par Duane, Garsia et Zabrocki.

International audience Given a permutation $\pi=\pi_1\pi_2\cdots \pi_n \in S_n$, we say an index $i$ is a peak if $\pi_{i-1} < \pi_i > \pi_{i+1}$. Let $P(\pi)$ denote the set of peaks of $\pi$. Given any set $S$ of positive integers, define ${P_S(n)=\{\pi\in S_n:P(\pi)=S\}}$. Billey-Burdzy-Sagan showed that for all fixed subsets of positive integers $S$ and sufficiently large $n$, $|P_S(n)|=p_S(n)2^{n-|S|-1}$ for some polynomial $p_S(x)$ depending on $S$. They conjectured that the coefficients of $p_S(x)$ expanded in a binomial coefficient basis centered at $max(S)$ are all positive. We show that this is a consequence of a stronger conjecture that bounds the modulus of the roots of $p_S(x)$. Furthermore, we give an efficient explicit formula for peak polynomials in the binomial basis centered at $0$, which we use to identify many integer roots of peak polynomials along with certain inequalities and identities. Etant donné une permutation $\pi=\pi_1\pi_2\cdots \pi_n \in S_n$ du groupe symétrique, nous disons qu’un indice i est unsommet si $\pi_{i-1} < \pi_i > \pi_{i+1}$. Soit $P(\pi)$ l’ensemble des sommets de $\pi$. Billey-Burdzy-Sagan ont montré que,pour tout sous-ensemble d’entiers positifs S et n suffisamment grand, le nombre de permutations de $n$ éléments avecensemble de sommets $S$ est $|P_S(n)|=p_S(n)2^{n-|S|-1}$ pour un certain polynôme $p_S(x)$ dépendant de $S$.. Ils ont fait la conjectureque les coefficients du polynôme $p_S(x)$ exprimé dans une base de coefficients binomiaux centrée en $max(S)$ sont touspositifs. Nous montrons que cela découle d’une conjecture plus forte qui borne le module des racines du polynôme$p_S(x)$. De plus, nous donnons une formule explicite efficace pour les polynômes sommets dans la base binomialecentrée en $0$, que nous utilisons pour identifier plusieurs racines entières de polynômes sommets, ainsi que certainesinégalités et identités.

International audience We describe a new uniform generation tree for permutations with the specific property that, for most permutations, all of their descendants in the generation tree have the same number of fixed points. Our tree is optimal for the number of permutations having this property. We then use this tree to describe a new random generation algorithm for derangements, using an expected n+O(1) calls to a random number generator. Another application is a combinatorial algorithm for exact sampling from the Poisson distribution with parameter 1.

International audience What is the maximum number of edges of the d-dimensional hypercube, denoted by S(d,k), that can be sliced by k hyperplanes? This question on combinatorial properties of Euclidean geometry arising from linear separability considerations in the theory of Perceptrons has become an issue on its own. We use computational and combinatorial methods to obtain new bounds for S(d,k), d ≤ 8. These strengthen earlier results on hypercube cut numbers.

International audience We consider the enumeration of walks on the two-dimensional non-negative integer lattice with steps defined by a finite set S ⊆ {±1, 0}2 . Up to isomorphism there are 79 unique two-dimensional models to consider, and previous work in this area has used the kernel method, along with a rigorous computer algebra approach, to show that 23 of the 79 models admit D-finite generating functions. In 2009, Bostan and Kauers used Pade ́-Hermite approximants to guess differential equations which these 23 generating functions satisfy, in the process guessing asymptotics of their coefficient sequences. In this article we provide, for the first time, a complete rigorous verification of these guesses. Our technique is to use the kernel method to express 19 of the 23 generating functions as diagonals of tri-variate rational functions and apply the methods of analytic combinatorics in several variables (the remaining 4 models have algebraic generating functions and can thus be handled by univariate techniques). This approach also shows the link between combinatorial properties of the models and features of its asymptotics such as asymptotic and polynomial growth factors. In addition, we give expressions for the number of walks returning to the x-axis, the y-axis, and the origin, proving recently conjectured asymptotics of Bostan, Chyzak, van Hoeij, Kauers, and Pech.

International audience We study the "shift-Ramanujan expansion" to obtain a formulae for the shifted convolution sum $C_{f,g} (N,a)$ of general functions f, g satisfying Ramanujan Conjecture; here, the shift-Ramanujan expansion is with respect to a shift factor a > 0. Assuming Delange Hypothesis for the correlation, we get the "Ramanujan exact explicit formula", a kind of finite shift-Ramanujan expansion. A noteworthy case is when f = g = Λ, the von Mangoldt function; so $C_{\Lamda, \Lambda} (N, 2k)$, for natural k, corresponds to 2k-twin primes; under the assumption of Delange Hypothesis, we easily obtain the proof of Hardy-Littlewood Conjecture for this case.

Simple Asymptotic Formula

International audience Tanglegrams are a class of graphs arising in computer science and in biological research on cospeciation and coevolution. They are formed by identifying the leaves of two rooted binary trees. The embedding of the trees in the plane is irrelevant for this application. We give an explicit formula to count the number of distinct binary rooted tanglegrams with n matched leaves, along with a simple asymptotic formula and an algorithm for choosing a tanglegram uniformly at random. The enumeration formula is then extended to count the number of tangled chains of binary trees of any length. This work gives a new formula for the number of binary trees with n leaves. Several open problems and conjectures are included along with pointers to several followup articles that have already appeared.
