The new dinv is not so new

Abstract

In (Duane, Garsia, Zabrocki 2013) the authors introduced a new dinv statistic, denoted ndinv, on the two part case of the shuffle conjecture (Haglund et al. 2005) in order to prove a compositional refinement. Though in (Hicks, Kim 2013) a non-recursive (but algorithmic) definition of ndinv has been given, this statistic still looks a bit unnatural. In this paper we "unveil the mystery" around the ndinv, by showing bijectively that the ndinv actually matches the usual dinv statistic in a special case of the generalized Delta conjecture in (Haglund, Remmel, Wilson 2018). Moreover, we give also a non-compositional proof of the "ehhehh" case of the shuffle conjecture (after (Garsia, Xin, Zabrocki 2014)) by bijectively proving a relation with the two part case of the Delta conjecture.
