Combinatorial study of Dellac configurations and \(q\)-extended normalized median Genocchi numbers (Q405232): Difference between revisions

Summary: \textit{E. Feigin} [Math. Res. Lett. 18, No. 6, 1163--1178 (2011; Zbl 1279.14062); Eur. J. Comb. 33, No. 8, 1913--1918 (2012; Zbl 1248.05007)] proved that the Poincaré polynomials of the degenerate flag varieties have a combinatorial interpretation through Dellac configurations, and related them to the \(q\)-extended normalized median Genocchi numbers \(\bar{c}_n(q)\) introduced by \textit{G.-N. Han} and \textit{J. Zeng} [Discrete Math. 205, No. 1--3, 119--143 (1999; Zbl 0944.05008)], mainly by geometric considerations. In this paper, we give combinatorial proofs of these results by constructing statistic-preserving bijections between Dellac configurations and two other combinatorial models of \(\bar{c}_n(q)\).
