In this paper we prove the cyclic sieving phenomenon introduced by Reiner-Stanton-White for faces of an even-dimensional cyclic polytope under a group action that cyclically translates the vertices. For odd-dimensional cyclic polytopes we enumerate the faces that are invariant under an automorphism that reverses the order of the vertices and an automorphism that interchanges the two end vertices according to the order on the curve. In particular for n d 2 we give instances of the phenomenon under the groups that cyclically translate the odd-positioned and even-positioned vertices respectively.

Let X be a finite set X q a polynomial in Z q with the property X 1 X and C a finite cyclic group acting on X. The triple X X q C is said to exhibit the cyclic sieving phenomenon CSP if for every c G C X q q u x G X c x x 1 where u is a root of .
