The number of inversions of a set partition. The Mahonian representation of a set partition $\{B_1,\dots,B_k\}$ of $\{1,\dots,n\}$ is the restricted growth word $w_1\dots w_n\}$ obtained by sorting the blocks of the set partition according to their maximal element, and setting $w_i$ to the index of the block containing $i$. A pair $(i,j)$ is an inversion of the word $w$ if $w_i > w_j$.

The major index of a set partition. The Mahonian representation of a set partition $\{B_1,\dots,B_k\}$ of $\{1,\dots,n\}$ is the restricted growth word $w_1\dots w_n\}$ obtained by sorting the blocks of the set partition according to their maximal element, and setting $w_i$ to the index of the block containing $i$. The major index of $w$ is the sum of the positions $i$ such that $w_i > w_{i+1}$.

The Z-index of a set partition. The Mahonian representation of a set partition $\{B_1,\dots,B_k\}$ of $\{1,\dots,n\}$ is the restricted growth word $w_1\dots w_n$ obtained by sorting the blocks of the set partition according to their maximal element, and setting $w_i$ to the index of the block containing $i$. The Z-index of $w$ equals $$ \sum_{i < j} w_{i,j}, $$ where $w_{i,j}$ is the word obtained from $w$ by removing all letters different from $i$ and $j$.

The cocharge of a standard tableau. The '''cocharge''' of a standard tableau $T$, denoted $\mathrm{cc}(T)$, is defined to be the cocharge of the reading word of the tableau. The cocharge of a permutation $w_1 w_2\cdots w_n$ can be computed by the following algorithm: 1) Starting from $w_n$, scan the entries right-to-left until finding the entry $1$ with a superscript $0$. 2) Continue scanning until the $2$ is found, and label this with a superscript $1$. Then scan until the $3$ is found, labeling with a $2$, and so on, incrementing the label each time, until the beginning of the word is reached. Then go back to the end and scan again from right to left, and *do not* increment the superscript label for the first number found in the next scan. Then continue scanning and labeling, each time incrementing the superscript only if we have not cycled around the word since the last labeling. 3) The cocharge is defined as the sum of the superscript labels on the letters.

The number of edges in the center of a graph. The center of a graph is the set of vertices whose maximal distance to any other vertex is minimal. In particular, if the graph is disconnected, all vertices are in the certer.

The shifted natural comajor index of a standard Young tableau. A natural descent of a standard tableau $T$ is an entry $i$ such that $i+1$ appears in a higher row than $i$ in English notation. The natural comajor index of a tableau of shape $\lambda$, size $n$ with natural descent set $D$ is then $b(\lambda)+\sum_{d\in D} n-d$, where $b(\lambda) = \sum_i (i-1)\lambda_i$.

The number of cyclically simple transpositions decreasing the number of cyclic descents needed to sort a permutation. This is for a permutation $\sigma$ of length $n$ and the set $T = \{ (1,2), \dots, (n-1,n), (1,n) \}$ given by $$\min\{ k \mid \sigma = t_1\dots t_k \text{ for } t_i \in T \text{ such that } t_1\dots t_j \text{ has more cyclic descents than } t_1\dots t_{j-1} \text{ for all } j\}.$$

The number of occurrences of the vincular pattern |132 in a permutation. This is the number of occurrences of the pattern $(1,3,2)$, such that the letter matched by $1$ is the first entry of the permutation.

The comajor index of a permutation. This is, $\operatorname{comaj}(\pi) = \sum_{i \in \operatorname{Des}(\pi)} (n-i)$ for a permutation $\pi$ of length $n$.
