The staircase size of the code of a permutation.
The code $c(\pi)$ of a permutation $\pi$ of length $n$ is given by the sequence $(c_1,\ldots,c_{n})$ with $c_i = |\{j > i : \pi(j) < \pi(i)\}|$. This is a bijection between permutations and all sequences $(c_1,\ldots,c_n)$ with $0 \leq c_i \leq n-i$.
The staircase size of the code is the maximal $k$ such that there exists a subsequence $(c_{i_k},\ldots,c_{i_1})$ of $c(\pi)$ with $c_{i_j} \geq j$.
This statistic is mapped through Mp00062Lehmer-code to major-code bijection to the number of descents, showing that together with the number of inversions St000018The number of inversions of a permutation. it is Euler-Mahonian.

Sends a Dyck path $D$ with valley at positions $\{(i_1,j_1),\ldots,(i_k,j_k)\}$ to the unique non-crossing permutation $\pi$ having descents $\{i_1,\ldots,i_k\}$ and whose inverse has descents $\{j_1,\ldots,j_k\}$.
It sends the area St000012The area of a Dyck path. to the number of inversions St000018The number of inversions of a permutation. and the major index St000027The major index of a Dyck path. to $n(n-1)$ minus the sum of the major index St000004The major index of a permutation. and the inverse major index St000305The inverse major index of a permutation..

Return the permutation whose Lehmer code equals the major code of the preimage.
This map sends the major index to the number of inversions.

Let $\sigma = (i_{11}\cdots i_{1k_1})\cdots(i_{\ell 1}\cdots i_{\ell k_\ell})$ be a permutation given by cycle notation such that every cycle starts with its maximal entry, and all cycles are ordered increasingly by these maximal entries.
Maps $\sigma$ to the permutation $[i_{11},\ldots,i_{1k_1},\ldots,i_{\ell 1},\ldots,i_{\ell k_\ell}]$ in one-line notation.
In other words, this map sends the maximal entries of the cycles to the left-to-right maxima, and the sequences between two left-to-right maxima are given by the cycles.
