The side length of the largest staircase partition fitting into a partition.
For an integer partition $(\lambda_1\geq \lambda_2\geq\dots)$ this is the largest integer $k$ such that $\lambda_i > k-i$ for $i\in\{1,\dots,k\}$.
In other words, this is the length of a longest (strict) north-east chain of cells in the Ferrers diagram of the partition, using the English convention. Equivalently, this is the maximal number of non-attacking rooks that can be placed on the Ferrers diagram.
This is also the maximal number of occurrences of a colour in a proper colouring of a Ferrers diagram.
A colouring of a Ferrers diagram is proper if no two cells in a row or in a column have the same colour. The minimal number of colours needed is the maximum of the length and the first part of the partition, because we can restrict a latin square to the shape. We can associate to each colouring the integer partition recording how often each colour is used, see [1]. This statistic records the largest part occurring in any of these partitions.

The root poset of a finite Cartan type.
This is the poset on the set of positive roots of its root system where $\alpha \prec \beta$ if $\beta - \alpha$ is a simple root.

The Greene-Kleitman invariant of a poset.
This is the partition $(c_1 - c_0, c_2 - c_1, c_3 - c_2, \ldots)$, where $c_k$ is the maximum cardinality of a union of $k$ chains of the poset. Equivalently, this is the conjugate of the partition $(a_1 - a_0, a_2 - a_1, a_3 - a_2, \ldots)$, where $a_k$ is the maximum cardinality of a union of $k$ antichains of the poset.
