Abstract
We give a formula in terms of families of non-intersecting lattice paths for iterated actions of the birational rowmotion map on a product of two chains, equivalently a rectangle. This allows us to give a much simpler direct proof of the key fact that the period of this map on a product of chains of lengths r and s is r + s + 2 (first proved by D. Grinberg and the second author) as well as other consequences, as explained in [8].
