Elliptic rook and file numbers
(47 pages)
Abstract.
Utilizing elliptic weights, we construct an elliptic analogue of
rook numbers for Ferrers boards.
Our elliptic rook numbers generalize Garsia and Remmel's
q-rook numbers by two additional independent
parameters a and b, and a nome p.
The elliptic rook numbers are shown to satisfy an elliptic extension of
a factorization theorem which in the classical case was established
by Goldman, Joichi and White and extended to the
q-case by Garsia and Remmel. We obtain similar results
for elliptic analogues of Garsia and Remmel's q-file numbers
for skyline boards.
We also provide an elliptic extension of the j-attacking model
introduced by Remmel and Wachs.
Various applications of our results include
elliptic analogues of (generalized) Stirling numbers of the first and
second kind, Lah numbers, Abel numbers, and r-restricted versions
thereof.
