A determinantal formula for the
Hilbert series of one-sided ladder determinantal
rings
(28 pages)
Abstract.
We give a formula that expresses the Hilbert series of one-sided ladder
determinantal rings, up to a trivial factor, in form of a determinant.
This allows the convenient computation of these Hilbert series.
The formula follows from a determinantal formula for a generating
function for families of nonintersecting lattice paths that stay
inside a one-sided ladder-shaped region, in which the paths
are counted with respect to turns.
