The number of valleys of a Dyck path not on the x-axis. That is, the number of valleys of nonminimal height. This corresponds to the number of -1's in an inclusion of Dyck paths into alternating sign matrices.

The number of descents of a standard tableau. Entry $i$ of a standard Young tableau is a descent if $i+1$ appears in a row below the row of $i$.

The spin of an integer partition. The Ferrers shape of an integer partition $\lambda$ can be decomposed into border strips. The spin is then defined to be the total number of crossings of border strips of $\lambda$ with the vertical lines in the Ferrers shape. The following example is taken from Appendix B in [1]: Let $\lambda = (5,5,4,4,2,1)$. Removing the border strips successively yields the sequence of partitions $$(5,5,4,4,2,1), (4,3,3,1), (2,2), (1), ().$$ The first strip $(5,5,4,4,2,1) \setminus (4,3,3,1)$ crosses $4$ times, the second strip $(4,3,3,1) \setminus (2,2)$ crosses $3$ times, the strip $(2,2) \setminus (1)$ crosses $1$ time, and the remaining strip $(1) \setminus ()$ does not cross. This yields the spin of $(5,5,4,4,2,1)$ to be $4+3+1 = 8$.

The dinv adjustment of an integer partition. The Ferrers shape of an integer partition $\lambda = (\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_k)$ can be decomposed into border strips. For $0 \leq j < \lambda_1$ let $n_j$ be the length of the border strip starting at $(\lambda_1-j,0)$. The dinv adjustment is then defined by $$\sum_{j:n_j > 0}(\lambda_1-1-j).$$ The following example is taken from Appendix B in [2]: Let $\lambda=(5,5,4,4,2,1)$. Removing the border strips successively yields the sequence of partitions $$(5,5,4,4,2,1),(4,3,3,1),(2,2),(1),(),$$ and we obtain $(n_0,\ldots,n_4) = (10,7,0,3,1)$. The dinv adjustment is thus $4+3+1+0 = 8$.

The dinv defect of an integer partition. This is the number of cells $c$ in the diagram of an integer partition $\lambda$ for which $\operatorname{arm}(c)-\operatorname{leg}(c) \not\in \{0,1\}$.

The degree of the cyclic sieving polynomial corresponding to an integer partition. Let $\lambda$ be an integer partition of $n$ and let $N$ be the least common multiple of the parts of $\lambda$. Fix an arbitrary permutation $\pi$ of cycle type $\lambda$. Then $\pi$ induces a cyclic action of order $N$ on $\{1,\dots,n\}$. The corresponding character can be identified with the cyclic sieving polynomial $C_\lambda(q)$ of this action, modulo $q^N-1$. Explicitly, it is $$ \sum_{p\in\lambda} [p]_{q^{N/p}}, $$ where $[p]_q = 1+\dots+q^{p-1}$ is the $q$-integer. This statistic records the degree of $C_\lambda(q)$. Equivalently, it equals $$ \left(1 - \frac{1}{\lambda_1}\right) N, $$ where $\lambda_1$ is the largest part of $\lambda$. The statistic is undefined for the empty partition.

The length of the partition.

The number of partitions of the same length below the given integer partition. For a partition $\lambda_1 \geq \dots \lambda_k > 0$, this number is $$ \det\left( \binom{\lambda_{k+1-i}}{j-i+1} \right)_{1 \le i,j \le k}.$$

The number of ones in a binary word. This is also known as the Hamming weight of the word.
