Hopkins's rowmotion cyclic sieving meta-conjecture

From papers

Let PP be a finite graded poset of rank rr for which the roots of \aΩP(m)\aΩ_P(m) are all integers or half-integers, and in the latter case possessing an order two automorphism. Let m\a01m \a0\geq 1 be an integer and define

ΩP(m;q):=α1qκ(mα)1qκα,\Omega_P(m;q):= \prod_{\alpha} \frac{1-q^{\kappa(m-\alpha)}}{1-q^{-\kappa \alpha}},

a product over all the roots α\alpha of ΩP(m)\Omega_P(m) with multiplicity, and with κ:=1\kappa:= 1 if the roots are integers or κ:=2\kappa:= 2 if they are half-integers. Hopkins's rowmotion cyclic sieving meta-conjecture. Then ΩP(m;q)\Omega_P(m;q) is a polynomial in qq with nonnegative integer coefficients, and

(PPm(P),RowZ/κ(r+2)Z,ΩP(m;q))(\mathcal{PP}^m(P),\langle \mathrm{Row} \rangle \simeq \mathbb{Z}/\kappa(r+2)\mathbb{Z},\Omega_P(m;q))

exhibits cyclic sieving. This predicts a uniform cyclic sieving phenomenon for rowmotion on PP-partitions; the paper recalls several proved families and establishes the staircase case, while the general assertion remains open.
