Adin, Brenti, and Roichman introduced the pairs of statistics (\ndes, \nmaj) and (\fdes, \fmaj). They showed that these pairs are equidistributed over the hyperoctahedral group Bn, and can be considered "Euler-Mahonian" in that they generalize the Carlitz identity. Further, they asked whether there exists a bijective proof of the equidistribution of their statistics. We give such a bijection, along with a new proof of the generalized Carlitz identity.
