Coloured shuffle compatibility, Hadamard products, and ask zeta functions
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: We devise an explicit method for computing combinatorial formulae for Hadamard products of certain rational generating functions. The latter arise naturally when studying so‐called ask zeta functions of direct sums of modules of matrices or class‐ and orbit‐counting zeta functions of direct products of nilpotent groups. Our method relies on shuffle compatibility of coloured permutation statistics and coloured quasisymmetric functions, extending recent work of Gessel and Zhuang.
