The sign of a permutation.

The determinant of an alternating sign matrix.

The Grundy value of an integer partition. Consider the two-player game on an integer partition. In each move, a player removes either a box, or a 2x2-configuration of boxes such that the resulting diagram is still a partition. The first player that cannot move lose. This happens exactly when the empty partition is reached. The grundy value of an integer partition is defined as the grundy value of this two-player game as defined in [1]. This game was described to me during Norcom 2013, by Urban Larsson, and it seems to be quite difficult to give a good description of the partitions with Grundy value 0.

The smallest integer d such that the restriction of the representation corresponding to a partition of n to the symmetric group on n-d letters has a constituent of odd degree. For example, restricting $S_{(6,3)}$ to $\mathfrak S_8$ yields $$S_{(5,3)}\oplus S_{(6,2)}$$ of degrees (number of standard Young tableaux) 28 and 20, none of which are odd. Restricting to $\mathfrak S_7$ yields $$S_{(4,3)}\oplus 2S_{(5,2)}\oplus S_{(6,1)}$$ of degrees 14, 14 and 6. However, restricting to $\mathfrak S_6$ yields $$S_{(3,3)}\oplus 3S_{(4,2)}\oplus 3S_{(5,1)}\oplus S_6$$ of degrees 5,9,5 and 1. Therefore, the statistic on the partition $(6,3)$ gives 3. This is related to $2$-saturations of Welter's game, see [1, Corollary 1.2].

The number of zeros of the symmetric group character corresponding to the partition. For example, the character values of the irreducible representation $S^{(2,2)}$ are $2$ on the conjugacy classes $(4)$ and $(2,2)$, $0$ on the conjugacy classes $(3,1)$ and $(1,1,1,1)$, and $-1$ on the conjugacy class $(2,1,1)$. Therefore, the statistic on the partition $(2,2)$ is $2$.

The coefficient of the monomial symmetric function indexed by the partition in the formal group law for linear orders. For a generating function $f$ the associated formal group law is the symmetric function $f(f^{(-1)}(x_1) + f^{(-1)}(x_2), \dots)$, see [1]. This statistic records the coefficient of the monomial symmetric function $m_\lambda$ in the formal group law for linear orders, with generating function $f(x) = x/(1-x)$, see [1, sec. 3.4]. This statistic gives the number of Smirnov arrangements of a set of letters with $\lambda_i$ of the $i$th letter, where a Smirnov word is a word with no repeated adjacent letters. e.g., [3,2,1] = > 10 since there are 10 Smirnov rearrangements of the word 'aaabbc': 'ababac', 'ababca', 'abacab', 'abacba', 'abcaba', 'acabab', 'acbaba', 'babaca', 'bacaba', 'cababa'.
