The row containing the largest entry of a standard tableau.

The first entry of the permutation. This can be described as 1 plus the number of occurrences of the vincular pattern ([2,1], {(0,0),(0,1),(0,2)}), i.e., the first column is shaded, see [1]. This statistic is related to the number of deficiencies [[St000703]] as follows: consider the arc diagram of a permutation $\pi$ of $n$, together with its rotations, obtained by conjugating with the long cycle $(1,\dots,n)$. Drawing the labels $1$ to $n$ in this order on a circle, and the arcs $(i, \pi(i))$ as straight lines, the rotation of $\pi$ is obtained by replacing each number $i$ by $(i\bmod n) +1$. Then, $\pi(1)-1$ is the number of rotations of $\pi$ where the arc $(1, \pi(1))$ is a deficiency. In particular, if $O(\pi)$ is the orbit of rotations of $\pi$, then the number of deficiencies of $\pi$ equals $$ \frac{1}{|O(\pi)|}\sum_{\sigma\in O(\pi)} (\sigma(1)-1). $$

The cardinality of the first block of a set partition. The number of partitions of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ into $k$ blocks in which the first block has cardinality $j+1$ is given by $\binom{n-1}{j}S(n-j-1,k-1)$, see [1, Theorem 1.1] and the references therein. Here, $S(n,k)$ are the ''Stirling numbers of the second kind'' counting all set partitions of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ into $k$ blocks [2].

The number of left-to-right-maxima of a permutation. An integer $\sigma_i$ in the one-line notation of a permutation $\sigma$ is a '''left-to-right-maximum''' if there does not exist a $j < i$ such that $\sigma_j > \sigma_i$. This is also the number of weak exceedences of a permutation that are not mid-points of a decreasing subsequence of length 3, see [1] for more on the later description.

Number of indecomposable injective modules with grade at least 1 in the corresponding Nakayama algebra.

The number of bumps occurring when Schensted-inserting the letter 1 of a permutation. For a given permutation $\pi$, this is the index of the row containing $\pi^{-1}(1)$ of the recording tableau of $\pi$ (obtained by [[Mp00070]]).

The hat guessing number of a graph. Suppose that each vertex of a graph corresponds to a player, wearing a hat whose color is arbitrarily chosen from a set of $q$ possible colors. Each player can see the hat colors of his neighbors, but not his own hat color. All of the players are asked to guess their own hat colors simultaneously, according to a predetermined guessing strategy and the hat colors they see, where no communication between them is allowed. The hat guessing number $HG(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the largest integer $q$ such that there exists a guessing strategy guaranteeing at least one correct guess for any hat assignment of $q$ possible colors. Because it suffices that a single player guesses correctly, the hat guessing number of a graph is the maximum of the hat guessing numbers of its connected components.
