The charge of a standard tableau.

The major index of the composition. The descents of a composition $[c_1,c_2,\dots,c_k]$ are the partial sums $c_1, c_1+c_2,\dots, c_1+\dots+c_{k-1}$, excluding the sum of all parts. The major index of a composition is the sum of its descents. For details about the major index see [[Permutations/Descents-Major]].

The sum of the positions of the ones in a binary word.

The (standard) major index of a standard tableau. A descent of a standard tableau $T$ is an index $i$ such that $i+1$ appears in a row strictly below the row of $i$. The (standard) major index is the the sum of the descents.

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 major index north count of a Dyck path. The descent set $\operatorname{des}(D)$ of a Dyck path $D = D_1 \cdots D_{2n}$ with $D_i \in \{N,E\}$ is given by all indices $i$ such that $D_i = E$ and $D_{i+1} = N$. This is, the positions of the valleys of $D$. The '''major index''' of a Dyck path is then the sum of the positions of the valleys, $\sum_{i \in \operatorname{des}(D)} i$, see [[St000027]]. The '''major index north count''' is given by $\sum_{i \in \operatorname{des}(D)} \#\{ j \leq i \mid D_j = N\}$.
