The descent set polynomial revisited

Abstract: We continue to explore cyclotomic factors in the descent set polynomial

Q_{n} (t)

, which was introduced by Chebikin, Ehrenborg, Pylyavskyy and Readdy. We obtain large classes of factors of the form

P h i_{2 s}

or

P h i_{4 s}

where

s

is an odd integer, with many of these being of the form

P h i_{2 p}

where

p

is a prime. We also show that if

P h i_{2}

is a factor of

Q_{2 n} (t)

then it is a double factor. Finally, we give conditions for an odd prime power

q = p^{r}

for which

P h i_{2 p}

is a double factor of

Q_{2 q} (t)

and of

Q_{q + 1} (t)

.
