Abstract

Prompted by a question of Jim Propp, this paper examines the cyclic sieving phenomenon (CSP) in certain cyclic codes. For example, it is shown that, among dual Hamming codes over Fq, the generating function for codedwords according to the major index statistic (resp. the inversion statistic) gives rise to a CSP when q=2 or q=3 (resp. when q=2). A byproduct is a curious characterization of the irreducible polynomials in F2[x] and F3[x] that are primitive.
