Exploring the Cyclic Sieving Phenomenon

Abstract:

We will continue our talk about the Cyclic Sieving Phenomenon involving the relationship between q-rational catalan number and the set of non crossing partitions. By utilizing the injective mapping between rational deck paths and non-crossing partitions, we have constructed small cases of how to observe that the set $(NC(a,b),Z_{b-1},Cat_q(a,b))$ exhibits the Cyclic Sieving Phenomenon. We will also demonstrate a few of our MATLAB programs that helped aid us in the progress of trying to prove the Cyclic Sieving Phenomenon.
