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 height of a Dyck path. The height of a Dyck path $D$ of semilength $n$ is defined as the maximal height of a peak of $D$. The height of $D$ at position $i$ is the number of up-steps minus the number of down-steps before position $i$.

The global dimension of the LNakayama algebra associated to a Dyck path. An n-LNakayama algebra is a quiver algebra with a directed line as a connected quiver with $n$ points for $n \geq 2$. Number those points from the left to the right by $0,1,\ldots,n-1$. The algebra is then uniquely determined by the dimension $c_i$ of the projective indecomposable modules at point $i$. Such algebras are then uniquely determined by lists of the form $[c_0,c_1,...,c_{n-1}]$ with the conditions: $c_{n-1}=1$ and $c_i -1 \leq c_{i+1}$ for all $i$. The number of such algebras is then the $n-1$-st Catalan number $C_{n-1}$. One can get also an interpretation with Dyck paths by associating the top boundary of the Auslander-Reiten quiver (which is a Dyck path) to those algebras. Example: [3,4,3,3,2,1] corresponds to the Dyck path [1,1,0,1,1,0,0,1,0,0]. Conjecture: that there is an explicit bijection between $n$-LNakayama algebras with global dimension bounded by $m$ and Dyck paths with height at most $m$. Examples: * For $m=2$, the number of Dyck paths with global dimension at most $m$ starts for $n \geq 2$ with 1,2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192. * For $m=3$, the number of Dyck paths with global dimension at most $m$ starts for $n \geq 2$ with 1, 2, 5, 13, 34, 89, 233, 610, 1597, 4181, 10946, 28657, 75025, 196418.

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 number of saliances of the permutation. A saliance is a right-to-left maximum. This can be described as an occurrence of the mesh pattern $([1], {(1,1)})$, i.e., the upper right quadrant is shaded, see [1].

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

The number of cycles in the cycle decomposition of a permutation.

The number of adjacent cycles of a permutation. This is the number of cycles of the permutation of the form (i,i+1,i+2,...i+k) which includes the fixed points (i).

The number of elements generated by the Dyck path as a map in the full transformation monoid. We view the resolution quiver of a Dyck path (corresponding to an LNakayamaalgebra) as a transformation and associate to it the submonoid generated by this map in the full transformation monoid.

Half the projective dimension of the unique simple module with even projective dimension in a magnitude 1 Nakayama algebra.
