Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a new statistic on standard Young tableaux that is closely related to the maxdrop permutation statistic that was introduced by the first author. We prove that the value of the statistic must be attained at one of the corners of the standard Young tableau. We determine the coefficients of the generating function of this statistic over two-row standard Young tableaux having n cells. We prove several results for this new statistic that include unimodality of the coefficients for the two-row case.
