Specializations of Colored Quasisymmetric Functions

Abstract. We propose a unified approach to prove general formulas for the joint distribution of an Eulerian statistic, a Mahonian statistic and the color sum statistic over a set of colored permutations by specializing Poirier's colored quasisymmetric functions. We apply this method to derive formulas for joint Euler-Mahonian and color sum distributions on colored permutations, derangements and involutions. A number of known formulas are recovered as special cases of our results, including formulas of Biagioli-Zeng, Assaf, Haglund-Loehr-Remmel, Biagioli-Caselli, Faliharimalala-Zeng and Désarménien-Foata. Several new results are also obtained.
