Abstract

The classical $q$ -analogue of the integers was recently generalized by Morier-Genoud and Ovsienko to give $q$ -analogues of rational numbers. Some combinatorial interpretations are already known, namely as the rank generating functions for certain partially ordered sets. We give a new interpretation, showing that the numerators of $q$ -rationals count the sizes of certain varieties over finite fields, which are unions of open Schubert cells in some Grassmannian.
