Abstract

In this paper, we give an explicit formula for the Poincaré polynomial \(P_\lambda (x)\) for the Betti numbers of the Springer fibers over nilpotent elements in \(gl_n(\mathbb {C})\) of Jordan form \(\lambda =abc\) with \(a\ge b\ge c\ge 0\) at \(x=-1\). In particular, we introduce \(\lambda \)-vacillating diagrams and show that \(P_{ab}(-1)\) is equal to the number of restricted Dyck paths.
