## Binomial determinants, paths, and hook length formulae.(English)Zbl 0579.05004

Authors’ abstract: ”We give a combinatorial interpretation for any minor (or binomial determinant) of the matrix of binomial coefficients. This interpretation involves configurations of nonintersecting paths, and is related to Young tableaux and hook length formulae.”
