The number of shortest chains of small intervals from the bottom to the top in a lattice.
An interval $[a, b]$ in a lattice is small if $b$ is a join of elements covering $a$.

The lattice of intervals of a permutation.
An interval of a permutation $\pi$ is a possibly empty interval of values that appear in consecutive positions of $\pi$. The lattice of intervals of $\pi$ has as elements the intervals of $\pi$, ordered by set inclusion.

Sends the set partition to the permutation obtained by considering the blocks as increasing cycles.

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 $\sigma$.
