The bounce statistic of a Dyck path. The '''bounce path''' $D'$ of a Dyck path $D$ is the Dyck path obtained from $D$ by starting at the end point $(2n,0)$, traveling north-west until hitting $D$, then bouncing back south-west to the $x$-axis, and repeating this procedure until finally reaching the point $(0,0)$. The points where $D'$ touches the $x$-axis are called '''bounce points''', and a bounce path is uniquely determined by its bounce points. This statistic is given by the sum of all $i$ for which the bounce path $D'$ of $D$ touches the $x$-axis at $(2i,0)$. In particular, the bounce statistics of $D$ and $D'$ coincide.

The dinv of a Dyck path. Let $a=(a_1,\ldots,a_n)$ be the area sequence of a Dyck path $D$ (see [[St000012]]). The dinv statistic of $D$ is $$ \operatorname{dinv}(D) = \# \big\{ i < j : a_i-a_j \in \{ 0,1 \} \big\}.$$ Equivalently, $\operatorname{dinv}(D)$ is also equal to the number of boxes in the partition above $D$ whose ''arm length'' is one larger or equal to its ''leg length''. There is a recursive definition of the $(\operatorname{area},\operatorname{dinv})$ pair of statistics, see [2]. Let $a=(0,a_2,\ldots,a_r,0,a_{r+2},\ldots,a_n)$ be the area sequence of the Dyck path $D$ with $a_i > 0$ for $2\leq i\leq r$ (so that the path touches the diagonal for the first time after $r$ steps). Assume that $D$ has $v$ entries where $a_i=0$. Let $D'$ be the path with the area sequence $(0,a_{r+2},\ldots,a_n,a_2-1,a_3-1,\ldots,a_r-1)$, then the statistics are related by $$(\operatorname{area}(D),\operatorname{dinv}(D)) = (\operatorname{area}(D')+r-1,\operatorname{dinv}(D')+v-1).$$

The area of a Dyck path. This is the number of complete squares in the integer lattice which are below the path and above the x-axis. The 'half-squares' directly above the axis do not contribute to this statistic. 1. Dyck paths are bijection with '''area sequences''' $(a_1,\ldots,a_n)$ such that $a_1 = 0, a_{k+1} \leq a_k + 1$. 2. The generating function $\mathbf{D}_n(q) = \sum_{D \in \mathfrak{D}_n} q^{\operatorname{area}(D)}$ satisfy the recurrence $$\mathbf{D}_{n+1}(q) = \sum q^k \mathbf{D}_k(q) \mathbf{D}_{n-k}(q).$$ 3. The area is equidistributed with [[St000005]] and [[St000006]]. Pairs of these statistics play an important role in the theory of $q,t$-Catalan numbers.

Gives the vector space dimension of the homomorphism space between J^2 and J^2.

The number of inversions of a permutation. This equals the minimal number of simple transpositions $(i,i+1)$ needed to write $\pi$. Thus, it is also the Coxeter length of $\pi$.

The number of nestings of a perfect matching. This is the number of pairs of edges $((a,b), (c,d))$ such that $a\le c\le d\le b$. i.e., the edge $(c,d)$ is nested inside $(a,b)$.

The Shynar inversion number of a standard tableau. Shynar's inversion number is the number of inversion pairs in a standard Young tableau, where an inversion pair is defined as a pair of integers (x,y) such that y > x and y appears strictly southwest of x in the tableau.

The inversion number of the alternating sign matrix. If we denote the entries of the alternating sign matrix as $a_{i,j}$, the inversion number is defined as $$\sum_{i > k}\sum_{j < \ell} a_{i,j}a_{k,\ell}.$$ When restricted to permutation matrices, this gives the usual inversion number of the permutation.

The rank of the alternating sign matrix in the alternating sign matrix poset. This rank is the sum of the entries of the monotone triangle minus $\binom{n+2}{3}$, which is the smallest sum of the entries in the set of all monotone triangles with bottom row $1\dots n$. Alternatively, $rank(A)=\frac{1}{2} \sum_{i,j=1}^n (i-j)^2 a_{ij}$, see [3, thm.5.1].
