Thomas–Williams' rowmotion order conjecture for rational Tamari lattices

About 4 years old · traced to

Let aa and bb be relatively prime positive integers. Let Tam⁡(a,b)\operatorname{Tam}(a,b) be the rational Tamari lattice of lattice paths from (0,0)(0,0) to (a,b)(a,b) lying strictly above y=(b/a)xy=(b/a)x except at their endpoints, and let Row⁡\operatorname{Row} denote its rowmotion operator.

Thomas–Williams' conjecture. The operator

Row⁡ ⁣:Tam⁡(a,b)→Tam⁡(a,b)\operatorname{Row}\colon\operatorname{Tam}(a,b)\to\operatorname{Tam}(a,b)

has order a+b−1a+b-1.

This conjecture gives the period of rowmotion on every rational Tamari lattice. The paper proves it for the subfamily of mm-Tamari lattices, while the general case remains open.
