Symmetric distribution of crossings and nestings in permutations of type \(B\) (Q640463)

Summary: This note contains two results on the distribution of crossing numbers and nesting numbers in permutations of type B. More precisely, we prove a \(B_n\)-analogue of the symmetric distribution of crossings and nestings of permutations due to \textit{S. Corteel} [Adv. Appl. Math. 38, No.\,2, 149--163 (2007; Zbl 1121.05003)] as well as the symmetric distribution of \(k\)-crossings and \(k\)-nestings of permutations due to \textit{S. Burrill}, \textit{M. Mishna}, and \textit{J. Post} [Discrete Math. Theor. Comput. Sci. Proc. 2010, 593-600 (2010)].
