Weak-excedance mid-points and cycle descents
Weak-excedance mid-points and cycle descents
Let be the set of permutations of . Consider the statistic counting weak excedances that are also mid-points of a decreasing subsequence of length (Statistic ), and let the cycle descent number be Statistic .
Weak-excedance mid-point conjecture. The number of weak excedances that are also mid-points of a decreasing subsequence of length (Statistic ) is equidistributed with the cycle descent number (Statistic ) and thus exhibits the cyclic sieving phenomenon under involutions with fixed points.
This is stated among the paper's conjectured cyclic-sieving instances and was tested up to ; the paper supplies no proof or resolution in the provided material.
