Abstract
The Eulerian numbers counting descents in the symmetric group $\mathcal{S}_n$ are known to have a Central Limit Theorem. Recently, Fulman, Petersen, Kim and Lee showed similar results over the alternating group $\mathcal{A}_n$. We show similar Central Limit Theorem like results when one samples permutations uniformly from $\mathcal{A}_n$ and considers excedances. We extend our results to the case when we sample over the positive part of Classical Weyl Groups. For the type D Coxeter groups, Borowiec and Mlitkowski recently defined a new type D Eulerian number and we show Central Limit theorems when one samples this new Eulerian statistic over the positive part of $\mathcal{D}_n$. Our results give natural refinements of Carlitz type identities as well.
