Invariant tensors and the cyclic sieving phenomenon
Abstract
We construct a large class of examples of the cyclic sieving phenomenon by expoiting the representation theory of semi-simple Lie algebras. Let be a finite dimensional representation of a semi-simple Lie algebra and let be the associated Kashiwara crystal. For , the triple which exhibits the cyclic sieving phenomenon is constructed as follows: the set is the set of isolated vertices in the crystal ; the map is a generalisation of promotion acting on standard tableaux of rectangular shape and the polynomial is the fake degree of the Frobenius character of a representation of related to the natural action of on the subspace of invariant tensors in . Taking to be the defining representation of gives the cyclic sieving phenomenon for rectangular tableaux.
