Dec 29, 2023 at 14:01 comment added Jay Taylor That is an error in the book of Geck & Pfeiffer that comes from some subtle labelling issues. For the correction see Lemma 3.5 in the paper "On Kottwitz' conjecture for twisted involutions" by Geck arxiv.org/abs/1206.0443
Dec 20, 2023 at 2:34 comment added Christopher Drupieski Yes, Remark 5.6.5 in the book by Geck and Pfeiffer seems to directly address my original question, although the way I'm reading the statement, it seems to imply that $V^{(\lambda,\lambda)^+} \otimes sgn \cong V^{(\lambda,\lambda)^+}$ for all $n$, not just for $n$ even as stated by @KentaSuzuki. I'm not sure at this point if I'm misreading something.

Dec 19, 2023 at 14:17 comment added Christopher Drupieski Now that I understand what I'm looking at a bit better, I think perhaps the construction in the answer is detailed in Section 3 of the paper "On the characters of the Weyl group of type D" by S.J. Mayer (Math. Proc. Camb. Phil. Soc. (1975), 77, 259).

Dec 18, 2023 at 15:07 comment added Christopher Drupieski Thanks for this. Do you have a favorite reference one could cite for these details (or is this instead a matter of unwinding more general results in the context of $W(D_{2n})$)?
