Hyperoctahedral Galois group conjecture for sorted binomial polynomials

From papers

Let Pn(z)P_n(z) be the sorted binomial polynomial. For odd n=2m+1n=2m+1, the source identifies the relevant target group as the mmth hyperoctahedral group. Hyperoctahedral Galois group conjecture. Pn(z)P_n(z) has full Galois group for even nn. For n=2m+1n=2m+1, the Galois group of Pn(z)P_n(z) is the mmth hyperoctahedral group. The preceding discussion records that the odd case is related to the Galois group of qn(z2)q_n(z^2) and that broad full-Galois-group results are known only under additional hypotheses; the displayed assertion itself is not resolved in the supplied text.
