On the interaction of the Coxeter transformation and the rowmotion bijection (Q6621997)

The \textit{Coxeter transformation} \(C\) of an arbitrary finite poset \(P\) is a linear automorphism on the vector space with basis \(P\) which is easily defined using the incidence matrix of the poset and its inverse. The \textit{rowmotion} \(\rho\) for a finite distributive lattice of order ideals is defined by sending an ideal generated by an antichain to the complement of the order filter generated by the same antichain. Rowmotion is one of the main object of study of the dynamical algebraic combinatorics and the Coxeter transformation is related to fractionally Calabi-Yau algebras. However, they do not seem to have been studied simultaneously.\N\NAs a main result, the authors prove that for a finite distributive lattice, the linear endomorphism \(\rho^{-1}C\) is of order \(2\). The proof is based on an algebraic interpretation of the rowmotion as the \textit{grade bijection} for the incidence algebra of the distributive lattice which is an \textit{Auslander regular} algebra. As a second main result, the authors also study the composition of the inverse of the grade bijection \(R\) and the Coxeter transformation of the higher Auslander algebra of an \(n\)-representation finite algebra. When \(n\) is even, the composition is of order \(2\) and when \(n\) is odd we have \((R^{-1}C + \operatorname{id})^2 = 0\).
