Positive $m$-divisible non-crossing partitions and their Kreweras maps

Abstract

We study positive $m$-divisible non-crossing partitions and their positive Kreweras maps. In classical types, we describe their combinatorial realisations as certain non-crossing set partitions. We also realise these positive Kreweras maps as pseudo-rotations on a circle, respectively on an annulus. We enumerate positive $m$-divisible non-crossing partitions in classical types that are invariant under powers of the positive Kreweras maps with respect to several parameters. In order to cope with the exceptional types, we develop a different combinatorial model in general type describing positive $m$-divisible non-crossing partitions that are invariant under powers of the positive Kreweras maps. We finally show that altogether these results establish several cyclic sieving phenomena.
