Skew Schur polynomials and cyclic sieving phenomenon (Q2094872)

Summary: Let \(k\) and \(m\) be positive integers and \(\lambda/\mu\) a skew partition. We compute the principal specialization of the skew Schur polynomials \(s_{\lambda/\mu}(x_1, \ldots, x_k)\) modulo \(q^m-1\) under suitable conditions. We interpret the results thus obtained from the viewpoint of the cyclic sieving phenomenon on semistandard Young skew tableaux of shape \(\lambda/\mu\). As an application, we deal with evaluations of the principal specialization of the skew Schur polynomials at roots of unity.
