For a chord diagram $E$ having a crossing $S = \\{ ac, bd \\}$, by the chord expansion of $E$ with respect to $S$, we have two chord diagrams $E_1 = (E\\setminus S) \\cup \\{ ab, cd \\}$ and $E_2 = (E\\setminus S) \\cup \\{ da, bc \\}$. Starting from a chord diagram $E$, by iterating expansions, we have a binary tree $T$ such that $E$ is a root of $T$ and a multiset of nonintersecting chord diagrams appear in the set of leaves of $T$. The number of leaves, which is not depending on the choice of expansions, is called the chord expansion number of $E$. A $0$-$1$ Young diagram is a Young diagram having a value of $0$ or $1$ for all boxes. This paper shows that the chord expansion number of some type counts the number of $0$-$1$ Young diagrams under some conditions. In particular, it is shown that the chord expansion number of an $n$-crossing, which corresponds to the Euler number, equals the number of $0$-$1$ Young diagrams of shape $(n,n-1,\\ldots,1)$ such that each column has at most one $1$ and each row has an even number of $1$'s.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-11-29T02:09:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A15" ], "keywords": [ "young diagram", "chord expansion number", "correspondence", "nonintersecting chord diagrams appear", "binary tree" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
