A remarkable formula for counting nonintersecting lattice paths in a ladder with respect to turns

(29 pages)

Abstract. We prove a formula, conjectured by Conca and Herzog, for the number of all families of nonintersecting lattice paths with certain starting and end points in a region that is bounded by an upper ladder. Thus we are able to compute explicitly the Hilbert series for certain one-sided ladder determinantal rings.
