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