Fixed-point homomesy and orbit-structure conjectures for the complement-rotation Foatic action

Let Sn\mathfrak{S}_n be the symmetric group, and let ρ\overline{\rho} denote the complement-rotation Foatic action on Sn\mathfrak{S}_n. For wSnw\in\mathfrak{S}_n, let Fix(w)\operatorname{Fix}(w) be the number of fixed points, or 1-cycles, and let an orbit mean an orbit under ρ\overline{\rho}. Complement-rotation orbit-structure conjecture. The statistic Fix\operatorname{Fix} is 1-mesic on every orbit; every orbit contains a permutation having 11 as a fixed point; and there is a natural indicator statistic that is 12\frac12-mesic and accounts for the orbits of even size. The first two properties are supported by computations in the source, while the natural indicator statistic is not specified there; the combined claims remain conjectural.
