The content of the paper under review is well explained in the authors' abstract. The reviewer reports it in full below adding only some references.\N\N``The polynomial of the major index \(\mathsf{maj}_{W}(\sigma)\) over the subset \(T\) of the Coxeter group \(W\) is called the Mahonian polynomial over \(T\), where \(\mathsf{maj}_{W}(\sigma)\) is a Mahonian statistic of an element \(\sigma \in T\) whereas the polynomial of the major index \(\mathsf{maj}_{W}(\sigma)\) with the \(\mathrm{sign}(-1)^{\ell_{W}(\sigma)}\) over the subset \(T\) is referred to as the signed Mahonian polynomial over \(T\), where \(\ell_{W}(\sigma)\) is the length of \(\sigma \in T\). \textit{I. M. Gessel} and \textit{C. Reutenauer} [J. Comb. Theory, Ser. A 64, No. 2, 189--215 (1993; Zbl 0793.05004)], \textit{M. L. Wachs} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 106, No. 1, 273-278 (1989; Zbl 0669.05006)], and \textit{C. O Chow} [Sémin. Lothar. Comb. 55, B55b, 6 p. (2005; Zbl 1185.05015)] established formulas for the Mahonian polynomials over the sets of derangements in the symmetric group \(S_{n}\) and the hyperoctahedral group \(B_{n}\). By extending Wachs' approach and employing a refinement of Stanley's shuffle theorem established in our recent paper (the authors [J. Comb. Theory, Ser. A 203, Article ID 105830, 25 p. (2024; Zbl 1530.05007)]), we derive a formula for the Mahonian polynomials over the set of derangements in the even-signed permutation group \(D_{n}\). This completes a picture which is now known for all the classical Weyl groups. Gessel-Simion (see [\textit{M. L. Wachs}, Discrete Math. 99, No. 1--3, 59--62 (1992; Zbl 0769.05098)]), \textit{R. M. Adin} et al. [J. Comb. Theory, Ser. A 109, No. 1, 25--43 (2005; Zbl 1059.05002)], and \textit{R. Biagioli} [Eur. J. Comb. 27, No. 2, 207--217 (2006; Zbl 1082.05003)] previously established formulas for the signed Mahonian polynomials over the classical Weyl groups. Building upon their formulas, we derive some new formulas for the signed Mahonian polynomials over the set of derangements in classical Weyl groups. As applications of the formulas for the (signed) Mahonian polynomials over the sets of derangements in the classical Weyl groups, we obtain enumerative formulas of the number of derangements in classical Weyl groups with even lengths.
