Sign-twisted generating functions of the odd length for Weyl groups of type $D$
The odd length in Weyl groups is a new statistic analogous to the classical Coxeter length, and features combinatorial and parity conditions. We establish explicit closed product formulas for the sign-twisted generating functions of the odd length for parabolic quotients of Weyl groups of type $D$. As a consequence, we verify three conjectures of Brenti and Carnevale on evaluating closed forms for these generating functions. We then give an equivalent condition for the sign-twisted generating functions to be expressible as products of cyclotomic polynomials, settling a conjecture of Stembridge.
