Abstract
We express the number of anti-invariant subspaces for a linear operator on a finite vector space in terms of the number of its invariant subspaces. When the operator is diagonalizable with distinct eigenvalues, our formula gives a finite-field interpretation for the entries of the q-Hermite Catalan matrix. We also obtain an interesting new proof of Touchard's formula for these entries.
