Gamma vectors of partitioned permutohedra

We determine that $\gamma$-vectors of partitioned permutohedra, thereby generalizing a result of Foata and Schützenberger. Our result is closely related to a result of Athanasiadis on the representation of the symmetric group on the cohomology of the permutohedral variety. We explain how to derive Athanasiadis’ result from ours and vice versa.
