Abstract

A classical result of MacMahon shows that the length function and the major index are equidistributed over the symmetric group. Foata and Schützenberger gave a remarkable refinement and proved that these parameters are equi-distributed over inverse descent classes, implying bivariate equi-distribution identities. Type B analogues of these results, refinements and consequences are given in this paper.
