Cyclic sieving phenomenon on dominant maximal weights (Q2199822): Difference between revisions

This is an extended abstract in a conference proceedings; the full article is [the authors, Adv. Math. 374, Article ID 107336, 75 p. (2020; Zbl 1448.05227)]. The cyclic sieving phenomenon was introducted in [\textit{V. Reiner} et al., J. Comb. Theory, Ser. A 108, No. 1, 17--50 (2004; Zbl 1052.05068)], and generalized to bicyclic sieving in [\textit{H. Barcelo} et al., J. Lond. Math. Soc., II. Ser. 77, No. 3, 627--646 (2008; Zbl 1202.05147)]. The authors construct (bi)cyclic sieving phenomena on the union of dominant maximal weights for highest weight modules over affine Kac-Moody algebras. The cyclic groups involved are permutation actions on the indexes, which do not depend on rank or level. This gives formulas for the algebras of classical type, both recursive formulas and closed-form sums of binomial coefficients. The formulas show a level-rank duality.
