The position of the first return of a Dyck path.

The number of positive eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix of the graph. This is the number of vertices minus the number of connected components of the graph.

The first part of an integer composition.

The biggest entry in the block containing the 1.

The number of global ascents of a permutation. The global ascents are the integers $i$ such that $$C(\pi)=\{i\in [n-1] \mid \forall 1 \leq j \leq i < k \leq n: \pi(j) < \pi(k)\}.$$ Equivalently, by the pigeonhole principle, $$C(\pi)=\{i\in [n-1] \mid \forall 1 \leq j \leq i: \pi(j) \leq i \}.$$ For $n > 1$ it can also be described as an occurrence of the mesh pattern $$([1,2], \{(0,2),(1,0),(1,1),(2,0),(2,1) \})$$ or equivalently $$([1,2], \{(0,1),(0,2),(1,1),(1,2),(2,0) \}),$$ see [3]. According to [2], this is also the cardinality of the connectivity set of a permutation. The permutation is connected, when the connectivity set is empty. This gives [[oeis:A003319]].

The spin of an integer partition. The Ferrers shape of an integer partition $\lambda$ can be decomposed into border strips. The spin is then defined to be the total number of crossings of border strips of $\lambda$ with the vertical lines in the Ferrers shape. The following example is taken from Appendix B in [1]: Let $\lambda = (5,5,4,4,2,1)$. Removing the border strips successively yields the sequence of partitions $$(5,5,4,4,2,1), (4,3,3,1), (2,2), (1), ().$$ The first strip $(5,5,4,4,2,1) \setminus (4,3,3,1)$ crosses $4$ times, the second strip $(4,3,3,1) \setminus (2,2)$ crosses $3$ times, the strip $(2,2) \setminus (1)$ crosses $1$ time, and the remaining strip $(1) \setminus ()$ does not cross. This yields the spin of $(5,5,4,4,2,1)$ to be $4+3+1 = 8$.

The dinv adjustment of an integer partition. The Ferrers shape of an integer partition $\lambda = (\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_k)$ can be decomposed into border strips. For $0 \leq j < \lambda_1$ let $n_j$ be the length of the border strip starting at $(\lambda_1-j,0)$. The dinv adjustment is then defined by $$\sum_{j:n_j > 0}(\lambda_1-1-j).$$ The following example is taken from Appendix B in [2]: Let $\lambda=(5,5,4,4,2,1)$. Removing the border strips successively yields the sequence of partitions $$(5,5,4,4,2,1),(4,3,3,1),(2,2),(1),(),$$ and we obtain $(n_0,\ldots,n_4) = (10,7,0,3,1)$. The dinv adjustment is thus $4+3+1+0 = 8$.

The degree of the cyclic sieving polynomial corresponding to an integer partition. Let $\lambda$ be an integer partition of $n$ and let $N$ be the least common multiple of the parts of $\lambda$. Fix an arbitrary permutation $\pi$ of cycle type $\lambda$. Then $\pi$ induces a cyclic action of order $N$ on $\{1,\dots,n\}$. The corresponding character can be identified with the cyclic sieving polynomial $C_\lambda(q)$ of this action, modulo $q^N-1$. Explicitly, it is $$ \sum_{p\in\lambda} [p]_{q^{N/p}}, $$ where $[p]_q = 1+\dots+q^{p-1}$ is the $q$-integer. This statistic records the degree of $C_\lambda(q)$. Equivalently, it equals $$ \left(1 - \frac{1}{\lambda_1}\right) N, $$ where $\lambda_1$ is the largest part of $\lambda$. The statistic is undefined for the empty partition.

The number of touch points (or returns) of a Dyck path. This is the number of points, excluding the origin, where the Dyck path has height 0.

The number of initial rises of a Dyck path. In other words, this is the height of the first peak of $D$.
