Mixed Eulerian numbers and beyond

Abstract

We derive explicit formulas for the matroidal mixed Eulerian numbers. We resolve a question posed by Berget, Spink, and Tseng, demonstrating that the invariant defined by matroidal mixed Eulerian numbers is precisely equivalent to Derksen's $\mathcal{G}$-invariant. As an application, we provide the first explicit, non-recursive formula for mixed Eulerian numbers. Our combinatorial approach draws inspiration from the classical work of Schubert and incorporates the cutting-edge contributions of Huh.
