In these cases, the coefficient $\\langle p_{n/d}^d \\circ s_{\\mu}, s_{\\lambda} \\rangle$ is shown to count, up to sign, the number of fixed points of an $\\langle s_{\\mu}^n, s_{\\lambda} \\rangle$-element set under the $d^{\\text{th}}$ power of an order $n$ cyclic action. If $n=2$, the action is the Sch\\\"utzenberger involution on semistandard Young tableaux (also known as evacuation), and, if $\\lambda$ is rectangular, the action is a certain power of Sch\\\"utzenberger and Shimozono's jeu-de-taquin promotion. This work extends results of Stembridge and Rhoades linking fixed points of the Sch\\\"utzenberger actions to ribbon tableaux enumeration. The conclusion for the case $n=2$ is equivalent to the domino tableaux rule of Carr\\'e and Leclerc for discriminating between the symmetric and antisymmetric parts of the square of a Schur function.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-08-27T17:58:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05E05", "05E10", "05E18" ], "keywords": [ "plethysm coefficients", "cyclic sieving", "schur function", "domino tableaux rule", "ribbon tableaux enumeration" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 36, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1408.6484R" } } }
