Abstract: We develop direct bijections between the set Fnk of minimal factorizations of the long cycle (0,1,cdots,kn) into (k+1)-cycle factors and the set Rnk of rooted labelled forests on vertices 1,ldots,n with edges coloured with 0,1,ldots,k−1 that map natural statistics on the former to generalized Mahonian statistics on the latter. In particular, we examine the generalized major index on forests Rnk and show that it has a simple and natural interpretation in the context of factorizations. Our results extend those by the present authors (2021), which treated the case k=1 through a different approach, and provide a bijective proof of the equidistribution observed by Yan (1997) between displacement of k-parking functions and generalized inversions of k-forests.
