摘要

We introduce a statistic pmaj(P) for partitions of [n], and show that it is equidistributed with cr(2), the number of 2-crossings, over all partitions of [n] with given sets of minimal block elements and maximal block elements. This generalizes the classical result of equidistribution for the permutation statistics inv and maj.
