Following recent work of Brenti and Carnevale, we investigate a sign-twisted Poincaré series for finite Weyl groups that tracks “odd inversions”; i.e. the number of odd-height positive roots transformed into negative roots by each member of . We prove that the series is divisible by the corresponding series for any parabolic subgroup , and provide sufficient conditions for when the quotient of the two series equals the restriction of the first series to coset representatives for . We also show that the series has an explicit factorization involving the degrees of the free generators of the polynomial invariants of a canonically associated reflection group.
