Thomas–Williams' cyclic sieving conjecture for rational Tamari lattices

Let aa and bb be relatively prime positive integers, let Tam(a,b)\operatorname{Tam}(a,b) be the rational Tamari lattice, and let Row\operatorname{Row} be its rowmotion operator. Define the qq-integer [k]q=(1qk)/(1q)[k]_q=(1-q^k)/(1-q) and the qq-binomial coefficient [a+bb]q{{a+b\brack b}_q} in the usual way. Set

Cat(a,b)(q)=1[a+b]q[a+bb]q.\operatorname{Cat}^{(a,b)}(q)=\frac{1}{[a+b]_q}{a+b\brack b}_q.

Thomas–Williams' cyclic sieving conjecture. The triple

(Tam(a,b),Row,Cat(a,b)(q))(\operatorname{Tam}(a,b),\operatorname{Row},\operatorname{Cat}^{(a,b)}(q))

exhibits the cyclic sieving phenomenon.

This conjecture strengthens the rowmotion-order conjecture by predicting the complete orbit structure through evaluations of the rational Catalan polynomial. It is proved in the paper for mm-Tamari lattices, but remains open for arbitrary rational Tamari lattices.
