Definition: Given a primitive k-th root of unity w, a binary operation a*b=a+wb, and sufficiently general fixed complex numbers x_0, ..., x_n, the k-modular Catalan numbers C_{n,k} enumerate parenthesizations of x_0*x_1*...*x_n that give distinct values.
Theorem: C_{n,k} enumerates the following objects:
(1) binary trees with n internal nodes avoiding a certain subtree (i.e., comb_k^{+1}),
(2) plane trees with n+1 nodes whose non-root nodes have degree less than k,
(3) Dyck paths of length 2n avoiding a down-step followed immediately by k consecutive up-steps,
(4) partitions with n nonnegative parts bounded by the staircase partition (n-1,n-2,...,1,0) such that each positive number appears fewer than k times,
(5) standard 2-by-n Young tableaux whose top row avoids contiguous labels of the form i,j+1,j+2,...,j+k for all i(6) permutations of {1,2,...,n} avoiding 1-3-2 and 23...(k+1)1.

			The Catalan number C_7=429 counts the parenthesizations of x_1*...*x_8 where * is arbitrary. Defining * and w as above and writing x_i compactly as xi, we have x1*(x2*(x3*(x4*(x5*(x6*(x7*(x8))))))) = x1+wx2+w^2x3+w^3x4+w^4x5+w^5x6+x7+wx8 = x1*(x2*(x3*(x4*(x5*(x6*(x7))))))*(x8). For n=7 and k=6, these are the only parenthesizations that give the same value for x1*...*x8, so C_{7,6}=429-1=428.
