This allows us to establish a connection between an identity of Reiner and some more recent results due to Chow and Gessel. Furthermore we generalize the main identity of Chow and Gessel by computing the four-variate generating series of descents, major index, length, and number of negative entries over Coxeter groups of type $B$ and $D$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-09-22T14:22:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A05", "05A15" ], "keywords": [ "hyperoctahedral group", "carlitzs identity", "flag major index", "main identity", "four-variate generating series" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0909.3961B" } } }
