We establish an explicit closed product formula of the sign-twisted generating functions of the odd length for any parabolic quotients of the even hyperoctahedral groups (Weyl groups of type $D$). As a consequence, we verify three conjectures posed by Brenti and Carnevale. We then give necessary and sufficient conditions for the sign-twisted generating functions to be not expressible as products of cyclotomic polynomials. It turns out that there is at most one non-cyclotomic factor, which always has the form $x^n + 2x^m + 1$ for some positive integers $m$ and $n$, settling a conjecture of Stembridge.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2023-06-11T08:20:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A15", "05A05", "05E16", "20F55" ], "keywords": [ "sign-twisted generating functions", "odd length", "parabolic quotients", "hyperoctahedral groups", "weyl groups" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 38, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
