The number of exclusive right-to-left minima of a permutation.
This is the number of right-to-left minima that are not left-to-right maxima.
This is also the number of non weak exceedences of a permutation that are also not mid-points of a decreasing subsequence of length 3.
Given a permutation $\pi = [\pi_1,\ldots,\pi_n]$, this statistic counts the number of position $j$ such that $\pi_j < j$ and there do not exist indices $i,k$ with $i < j < k$ and $\pi_i > \pi_j > \pi_k$.

Krattenthaler's bijection to 321-avoiding permutations.
Draw the path of semilength $n$ in an $n\times n$ square matrix, starting at the upper left corner, with right and down steps, and staying below the diagonal. Then the permutation matrix is obtained by placing ones into the cells corresponding to the peaks of the path and placing ones into the remaining columns from left to right, such that the row indices of the cells increase.

Sends a permutation to its image under the Foata bijection.
The Foata bijection $\phi$ is a bijection on the set of words with no two equal letters. It can be defined by induction on the size of the word:
Given a word $w_1 w_2 ... w_n$, compute the image inductively by starting with $\phi(w_1) = w_1$.
At the $i$-th step, if $\phi(w_1 w_2 ... w_i) = v_1 v_2 ... v_i$, define $\phi(w_1 w_2 ... w_i w_{i+1})$ by placing $w_{i+1}$ on the end of the word $v_1 v_2 ... v_i$ and breaking the word up into blocks as follows.

• If $w_{i+1} \geq v_i$, place a vertical line to the right of each $v_k$ for which $w_{i+1} \geq v_k$.
• If $w_{i+1} < v_i$, place a vertical line to the right of each $v_k$ for which $w_{i+1} < v_k$.

In either case, place a vertical line at the start of the word as well. Now, within each block between vertical lines, cyclically shift the entries one place to the right.
To compute $\phi([1,4,2,5,3])$, the sequence of words is

• $1$
• $|1|4 \to 14$
• $|14|2 \to 412$
• $|4|1|2|5 \to 4125$
• $|4|125|3 \to 45123.$

In total, this gives $\phi([1,4,2,5,3]) = [4,5,1,2,3]$.
This bijection sends the major index (St000004The major index of a permutation.) to the number of inversions (St000018The number of inversions of a permutation.).

Sends a permutation to the unique permutation such that the Lehmer code is sent to the major code.
The Lehmer code encodes the inversions of a permutation and the major code encodes its major index. In particular, the number of inversions of a permutation equals the major index of its image under this map.
* The Lehmer code of a permutation $\sigma$ is given by $L(\sigma) = l_1 \ldots l_n$ with $l_i = \# \{ j > i : \sigma_j < \sigma_i \}$. In particular, $l_i$ is the number of boxes in the $i$-th column of the Rothe diagram. For example, the Lehmer code of $\sigma = [4,3,1,5,2]$ is $32010$. The Lehmer code $L : \mathfrak{S}_n\ \tilde\longrightarrow\ S_n$ is a bijection between permutations of size $n$ and sequences $l_1\ldots l_n \in \mathbf{N}^n$ with $l_i \leq i$.
* The major code $M(\sigma)$ of a permutation $\sigma \in \mathfrak{S}_n$ is a way to encode a permutation as a sequence $m_1 m_2 \ldots m_n$ with $m_i \geq i$. To define $m_i$, let $\operatorname{del}_i(\sigma)$ be the normalized permutation obtained by removing all $\sigma_j < i$ from the one-line notation of $\sigma$. The $i$-th index is then given by
$$m_i = \operatorname{maj}(\operatorname{del}_i(\sigma)) - \operatorname{maj}(\operatorname{del}_{i-1}(\sigma)).$$
For example, the permutation $[9,3,5,7,2,1,4,6,8]$ has major code $[5, 0, 1, 0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 0]$ since
$$\operatorname{maj}([8,2,4,6,1,3,5,7]) = 5, \quad \operatorname{maj}([7,1,3,5,2,4,6]) = 5, \quad \operatorname{maj}([6,2,4,1,3,5]) = 4,$$
$$\operatorname{maj}([5,1,3,2,4]) = 4, \quad \operatorname{maj}([4,2,1,3]) = 3, \quad \operatorname{maj}([3,1,2]) = 1, \quad \operatorname{maj}([2,1]) = 1.$$
Observe that the sum of the major code of $\sigma$ equals the major index of $\sigma$.
