The Selberg integral is an important integral first evaluated by Selberg in 1944. Stanley found a combinatorial interpretation of the Selberg integral in terms of probability. In this talk we find a connection between the Selberg integral and shifted Young tableaux of staircase shape and standard Young tableaux of square shape. We define "Young books" which are a generalization of both of these shifted and standard Young tableaux and find a formula for the number of Young books. This is joint work with Suho Oh. |
