Enumerative combinatorics, representations and quasisymmetric functions

Abstract

The present thesis consists of two parts whose main protagonists are colored quasisymmetric functions. In 1984, Gessel introduced quasisymmetric functions, a generalization of symmetric functions. In 1993, together with Reutenauer they studied specializations of families of quasisymmetric functions associated to subsets of the symmetric group, which have many desirable properties, such as symmetry and Schur-positivity. In 1998, Poirier introduced colored quasisymmetric functions, a colored analogue of quasisymmetric functions. In the first part, we develop a general theory of specializations of colored quasisymmetric functions in the spirit of Gessel and Reutenauer’s work. This allows us to systematically prove refined Euler–Mahonian identities on colored permutation groups and subsets of these, such as derangements and involutions. In 2017, Elizalde and Roichman proved that the quasisymmetric function of the product of a collection of permutations whose quasisymmetric generating funct ...
