Abstract

We study the distribution of the major index with sign on some parabolic quotients of the symmetric group, extending and generalizing simultaneously results of Gessel-Simion and Adin-Gessel-Roichman, and on the labellings of some special trees that we call rakes. We further consider and compute the distribution of the flag-major index on some parabolic quotients of wreath products and other related groups. All these distributions turn out to have very simple factorization formulas.
