We associate to a CNakayama algebra (a Nakayama algebra with a cyclic quiver) with Kupisch series $L=[c_0,c_1,...,c_{n-1}]$ such that $n=c_0 < c_i$ for all $i > 0$ a Dyck path as follows: In the list $L$ delete the first entry $c_0$ and substract from all other entries $n-1$ and then append the last element 1 (this was suggested by Christian Stump). The result is a Kupisch series of an LNakayama algebra. Example: [5,6,6,6,6] goes into [2,2,2,2,1]. Now associate to the CNakayama algebra with the above properties the Dyck path corresponding to the Kupisch series of the LNakayama algebra. The statistic return the global dimension of the CNakayama algebra divided by 2.

The bounce count of a Dyck path. For a Dyck path $D$ of length $2n$, this is the number of points $(i,i)$ for $1 \leq i < n$ that are touching points of the [[Mp00099|bounce path]] of $D$.
