Abstract. We prove a formula, conjectured by Conca and Herzog, for the number of all families of nonintersecting lattice paths with certain starting and end points in a region that is bounded by an upper ladder. Thus we are able to compute explicitly the Hilbert series for certain one-sided ladder determinantal rings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
