Invariant tensors and the cyclic sieving phenomenon (Q727202)

Summary: We construct a large class of examples of the cyclic sieving phenomenon by exploiting the representation theory of semi-simple Lie algebras. Let \(M\) be a finite dimensional representation of a semi-simple Lie algebra and let \(B\) be the associated Kashiwara crystal. For \(r\geq 0\), the triple \((X,c,P)\) which exhibits the cyclic sieving phenomenon is constructed as follows: the set \(X\) is the set of isolated vertices in the crystal \(\otimes^rB\); the map \(c: X\rightarrow X\) is a generalisation of promotion acting on standard tableaux of rectangular shape and the polynomial \(P\) is the fake degree of the Frobenius character of a representation of \(\mathfrak{S}_r\) related to the natural action of \(\mathfrak{S}_r\) on the subspace of invariant tensors in \(\otimes^rM\). Taking \(M\) to be the defining representation of \(\mathrm{SL}(n)\) gives the cyclic sieving phenomenon for rectangular tableaux.
