The vector space dimension of the first extension-group between A/soc(A) and J when A is the corresponding Nakayama algebra with Jacobson radical J.

The vector space dimension of the space of module homomorphisms between J and itself when J denotes the Jacobson radical of the corresponding Nakayama algebra.

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.

The path length of an ordered tree. This is the sum of the lengths of all paths from the root to a node, see Section 2.3.4.5 of [1].

The number of boxes below precisely one peak. Imagine that each peak of the Dyck path, drawn with north and east steps, casts a shadow onto the triangular region between it and the diagonal. This statistic is the number of cells which are in the shade of precisely one peak.

Sum of the projective dimensions of the simple modules in the Nakayama algebra corresponding to the Dyck path.

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

The number of indecomposable modules with projective dimension at most 1 in the Nakayama algebra corresponding to the Dyck path.

The pebbling number of a connected graph.

Lusztig's a-function for the symmetric group. Let $x$ be a permutation corresponding to the pair of tableaux $(P(x),Q(x))$ by the Robinson-Schensted correspondence and $\operatorname{shape}(Q(x)')=( \lambda_1,...,\lambda_k)$ where $Q(x)'$ is the transposed tableau. Then $a(x)=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{k}{\binom{\lambda_i}{2}}$. See exercise 10 on page 198 in the book by Björner and Brenti "Combinatorics of Coxeter Groups" for equivalent characterisations and properties.
