Weyl group $q$-Kreweras numbers and cyclic sieving

Abstract

The paper concerns a definition for $q$-Kreweras numbers for finite Weyl groups $W$, refining the $q$-Catalan numbers for $W$, and arising from work of the second author. We give explicit formulas in all types for the $q$-Kreweras numbers. In the classical types $A,B,C$, we also record formulas for the $q$-Narayana numbers and in the process show that the formulas depend only on the Weyl group (that is, they coincide in types $B$ and $C$). In addition we verify that in the classical types $A,B,C,D$ that the $q$-Kreweras numbers obey the expected cyclic sieving phenomena when evaluated at appropriate roots of unity.
