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,k1 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.
