-Here I list meanings of notations that may have not been explained
-elsewhere.
-
-- $\text{ty}$: type. Given a word $w \in [n]^\ell$,
- $\text{ty} w = (m_1, m_2, ..., m_n)$ where $m_i$ is the number of
- $i$\'s in $w$. For example
- $\text{ty} (1, 2, 2, 1, 4, 2) = (2, 3, 0, 1)$. The definition of
- $\text{ty} T$ for a tableau $T$ is similar.
-- $[n]$: for $n \in \mathbb N_{>0}$, $[n]$ stands for the set
- $\{1, 2, ..., n\}$.
-- $i : j$: for $i, j \in \mathbb Z$, $i : j$ stands for the set
- $\{i, i + 1, ..., j\}$, or the sequence $(i, i + 1, ..., j)$,
- depending on the context.
-- $k = i : j$: means $k$ iterates over $i$, $i + 1$,\..., $j$. For
- example $\sum_{k = 1 : n} a_k := \sum_{k = 1}^n a_k$.
-- $x_{i : j}$: stands for the set $\{x_k: k = i : j\}$ or the sequence
- $(x_i, x_{i + 1}, ..., x_j)$, depending on the context. So are
- notations like $f(i : j)$, $y^{i : j}$ etc.
-- $\mathbb N$: the set of natural numbers / nonnegative integer
- numbers $\{0, 1, 2,...\}$, whereas
-- $\mathbb N_{>0}$ or $\mathbb N^+$: Are the set of positive integer
- numbers.
-- $x^w$: when both $x$ and $w$ are tuples of objects, this means
- $\prod_i x_{w_i}$. For example say $w = (1, 2, 2, 1, 4, 2)$, and
- $x = x_{1 : 7}$, then $x^w = x_1^2 x_2^3 x_4$.
-- $LHS$, LHS, $RHS$, RHS: left hand side and right hand side of a
- formula
-- $e_i$: the $i$th standard basis in a vector space:
- $e_i = (0, 0, ..., 0, 1, 0, 0, ...)$ where the sequence is finite or
- infinite depending on the dimension of the vector space and the $1$
- is the $i$th entry and all other entries are $0$.
-- $1_{A}(x)$ where $A$ is a set: an indicator function, which
- evaluates to $1$ if $x \in A$, and $0$ otherwise.
-- $1_{p}$: an indicator function, which evaluates to $1$ if the
- predicate $p$ is true and $0$ otherwise. Example: $1_{x \in A}$,
- same as $1_A(x)$.
-- $\xi \sim p$: the random variable $xi$ is distributed according to
- the probability density function / probability mass function /
- probability measure $p$.
-- $\xi \overset{d}{=} \eta$: the random variables $\xi$ and $\eta$
- have the same distribution.
-- $\mathbb E f(\xi)$: expectation of $f(\xi)$.
-- $\mathbb P(A)$: probability of event $A$.
-- $a \wedge b$: $\min\{a, b\}$.
-- $a \vee b$: $\max\{a, b\}$.
-- $(\alpha)_+$: the positive part of $\alpha$, i.e. $\alpha \vee 0$.
-- $(\alpha)_-$: the negative part of $\alpha$, i.e. $(- \alpha)_+$.
