The major index of the permutation obtained by flattening the set partition. A set partition can be represented by a sequence of blocks where the first entries of the blocks and the blocks themselves are increasing. This statistic is then the major index of the permutation obtained by flattening the set partition in this canonical form.

The major index of a permutation. This is the sum of the positions of its descents, $$\operatorname{maj}(\sigma) = \sum_{\sigma(i) > \sigma(i+1)} i.$$ Its generating function is $[n]_q! = [1]_q \cdot [2]_q \dots [n]_q$ for $[k]_q = 1 + q + q^2 + \dots q^{k-1}$. A statistic equidistributed with the major index is called '''Mahonian statistic'''.

The last descent of a permutation. For a permutation $\pi$ of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$, this is the largest index $0 \leq i < n$ such that $\pi(i) > \pi(i+1)$ where one considers $\pi(0) = n+1$.

The mak of a permutation. According to [1], this is the sum of the number of occurrences of the vincular patterns $(2\underline{31})$, $(\underline{32}1)$, $(1\underline{32})$, $(\underline{21})$, where matches of the underlined letters must be adjacent.

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 number of inversions of a permutation. This equals the minimal number of simple transpositions $(i,i+1)$ needed to write $\pi$. Thus, it is also the Coxeter length of $\pi$.

The cardinality of the support of a permutation. A permutation $\sigma$ may be written as a product $\sigma = s_{i_1}\dots s_{i_k}$ with $k$ minimal, where $s_i = (i,i+1)$ denotes the simple transposition swapping the entries in positions $i$ and $i+1$. The set of indices $\{i_1,\dots,i_k\}$ is the '''support''' of $\sigma$ and independent of the chosen way to write $\sigma$ as such a product. See [2], Definition 1 and Proposition 10. The '''connectivity set''' of $\sigma$ of length $n$ is the set of indices $1 \leq i < n$ such that $\sigma(k) < i$ for all $k < i$. Thus, the connectivity set is the complement of the support.

The depth of a permutation. This is given by $$\operatorname{dp}(\sigma) = \sum_{\sigma_i>i} (\sigma_i-i) = |\{ i \leq j : \sigma_i > j\}|.$$ The depth is half of the total displacement [4], Problem 5.1.1.28, or Spearman’s disarray [3] $\sum_i |\sigma_i-i|$. Permutations with depth at most $1$ are called ''almost-increasing'' in [5].

The sum of the descent differences of a permutations. This statistic is given by $$\pi \mapsto \sum_{i\in\operatorname{Des}(\pi)} (\pi_i-\pi_{i+1}).$$ See [[St000111]] and [[St000154]] for the sum of the descent tops and the descent bottoms, respectively. This statistic was studied in [1] and [2] where is was called the ''drop'' of a permutation.

The inversion number of a standard tableau as defined by Haglund and Stevens. Their inversion number is the total number of inversion pairs for the tableau. An inversion pair is defined as a pair of cells (a,b), (x,y) such that the content of (x,y) is greater than the content of (a,b) and (x,y) is north of the inversion path of (a,b), where the inversion path is defined in detail in [1].
