Cameron–Fon-Der-Flaass periodicity conjecture for plane partitions

At least 5 years old · documented by

Fix positive integers a,b,ca,b,c and let Ba,b,c=a×b×c\mathsf{B}_{a,b,c}={\bf a}\times{\bf b}\times{\bf c} be the product of three chains. Let J(Ba,b,c)J(\mathsf{B}_{a,b,c}) denote its order ideals, and define rowmotion Ψ\Psi by sending an order ideal to the order ideal generated by the minimal elements of its complementary order filter. For a Ψ\Psi-orbit, consider its cardinality. Cameron–Fon-Der-Flaass conjecture. If p=a+b+c−1p=a+b+c-1 is prime, then the cardinality of every Ψ\Psi-orbit of J(Ba,b,c)J(\mathsf{B}_{a,b,c}) is a multiple of pp. The conjecture asserts a uniform periodicity property for rowmotion on plane partitions. The paper proves this conjecture, so the claim is solved.
