We establish a supercongruence conjectured by Almkvist and Zudilin, by proving a corresponding [Formula: see text]-supercongruence. Similar [Formula: see text]-supercongruences are established for binomial coefficients and the Apéry numbers, by means of a general criterion involving higher derivatives at roots of unity. Our methods lead us to discover new examples of the cyclic sieving phenomenon, involving the [Formula: see text]-Lucas numbers.

Cyclic Sieving

The cyclic sieving phenomenon of Reiner, Stanton, and White says that we can often count the fixed points of elements of a cyclic group acting on a combinatorial set by plugging roots of unity into a polynomial related to this set. One of the most impressive instances of the cyclic sieving phenomenon is a theorem of Rhoades asserting that the set of plane partitions in a rectangular box under the action of promotion exhibits cyclic sieving. In Rhoades's result the sieving polynomial is the size generating function for these plane partitions, which has a well-known product formula due to MacMahon. We extend Rhoades's result by also considering symmetries of plane partitions: specifically, complementation and transposition. The relevant polynomial here is the size generating function for symmetric plane partitions, whose product formula was conjectured by MacMahon and proved by Andrews and Macdonald. Finally, we explain how these symmetry results also apply to the rowmotion operator on plane partitions, which is closely related to promotion.

Special Numbers And Polynomials

The aim of this paper is to define new families of combinatorial numbers and polynomials associated with Peters polynomials. These families are also a modification of the special numbers and polynomials in [11]. Some fundamental properties of these polynomials and numbers are given. Moreover, a combinatorial identity, which calculates the Fibonacci numbers with the aid of binomial coefficients and which was proved by Lucas in 1876, is proved by different method with the help of these combinatorial numbers. Consequently, by using the same method, we give a new recurrence formula for the Fibonacci numbers and Lucas numbers. Finally, relations between these combinatorial numbers and polynomials with their generating functions and other well-known special polynomials and numbers are given.

International audience We prove the cyclic sieving phenomenon for non-crossing forests and non-crossing graphs. More precisely, the cyclic group acts on these graphs naturally by rotation and we show that the orbit structure of this action is encoded by certain polynomials. Our results confirm two conjectures of Alan Guo. Nous prouvons le phénomène de crible cyclique pour les forêts et les graphes sans croisement. Plus précisément, le groupe cyclique agit sur ces graphes naturellement par rotation et nous montrons que la structure d'orbite de cette action est codée par certains polynômes. Nos résultats confirment deux conjectures de Alan Guo.

International audience We show that the set $R(w_0)$ of reduced expressions for the longest element in the hyperoctahedral group exhibits the cyclic sieving phenomenon. More specifically, $R(w_0)$ possesses a natural cyclic action given by moving the first letter of a word to the end, and we show that the orbit structure of this action is encoded by the generating function for the major index on $R(w_0)$. Nous montrons que l'ensemble $R(w_0)$ des expressions réduites pour l'élément le plus long du groupe hyperoctaédral présente le phénomène cyclique de tamisage. Plus précisément, $R(w_0)$ possède une action naturelle cyclique donnée par le déplacement de la première lettre d'un mot vers la fin, et nous montrons que la structure d'orbite de cette action est codée par la fonction génératrice pour l'indice majeur sur $R(w_0)$.

Cyclic Sieving

International audience A non-crossing connected graph is a connected graph on vertices arranged in a circle such that its edges do not cross. The count for such graphs can be made naturally into a q-binomial generating function. We prove that this generating function exhibits the cyclic sieving phenomenon, as conjectured by S.-P. Eu. Un graphe connexe dont les sommets sont disposés sur un cercle est sans croisement si ses arêtes ne se croisent pas. Nous démontrons une conjecture de S.-P. Eu affirmant que la fonction génératrice q-binomiale dénombrant de tels graphes exhibe le phénomène du crible cyclique.
