3 Abstract More than a hundred years ago, Frobenius and Young based the emerging representation theory of the symmetric group on the combinatorial objects now called Standard Young Tableaux (SYT). Many important features of these classical objects have since been discovered, including some surprising interpretations and the celebrated hook length formula for their number. In recent years, SYT of non-classical shapes have come up in research and were shown to have, in many cases, surprisingly nice enumeration formulas. The talk will present some gems from the study of SYT over the years, based on a recent survey paper. No prior acquaintance assumed.

91 Truncated Shifted Staircase The following enumeration problem was actually the original motivation for the study of truncated shapes, because of its combinatorial interpretation. Theorem: [A-King-Roichman, Panova] The number of SYT of truncated shifted staircase shape δ n \ (1) is equal to g δn C nc n 2 2 C 2n 3, where C n = 1 n+1( 2n n ) is the n-th Catalan number.
92 Truncated Shifted Staircase More generally, truncating a square from a shifted staircase shape: [δ 5 \ (2 2 )] = Theorem: [AKR] The number of SYT of truncated shifted staircase shape δ m+2k \ ((k 1) k 1 ) is g (m+k+1,...,m+3,m+1,...,1) g (m+k+1,...,m+3,m+1) N!M! (N M 1)!(2M + 1)!, where N = ( ) m+2k+1 2 (k 1) 2 is the size of the shape and M = k(2m + k + 3)/2 1. Similarly for truncating almost squares (k k 1, k 1).

95 Truncated Rectangle Not much is known for truncation of rectangles by rectangles. The following formula was conjectured by AKR and proved by Sun.
