Classifying descent and ascents modulo k

Abstract:

Given any fixed integer $k > 1$, one can ask to find formulas for the number of permutations whose descent pairs satisfy certain conditions mod k. We will survey a number of results on these type of questions and we will show that number of remarkable identities emerge from this study.
