The number of transpositions that are smaller or equal to a permutation in Bruhat order.
A statistic is known to be smooth if and only if this number coincides with the number of inversions. This is also equivalent for a permutation to avoid the two pattern $4231$ and $3412$.

This map is recursively defined as follows.
The unique empty path of semilength $0$ is sent to itself.
Let $D$ be a Dyck path of semilength $n > 0$ and decompose it into $1 D_1 0 D_2$ with Dyck paths $D_1, D_2$ of respective semilengths $n_1$ and $n_2$ such that $n_1$ is minimal. One then has $n_1+n_2 = n-1$.
Now let $\tilde D_1$ and $\tilde D_2$ be the recursively defined respective images of $D_1$ and $D_2$ under this map. The image of $D$ is then defined as $1 \tilde D_2 0 \tilde D_1$.

Sends a Dyck path $D$ of length $2n$ to its bounce path.
This path is formed by starting at the endpoint $(n,n)$ of $D$ and travelling west until encountering the first vertical step of $D$, then south until hitting the diagonal, then west again to hit $D$, etc. until the point $(0,0)$ is reached.
This map is the first part of the zeta map Mp00030zeta map.

Krattenthaler's bijection to 321-avoiding permutations.
Draw the path of semilength $n$ in an $n\times n$ square matrix, starting at the upper left corner, with right and down steps, and staying below the diagonal. Then the permutation matrix is obtained by placing ones into the cells corresponding to the peaks of the path and placing ones into the remaining columns from left to right, such that the row indices of the cells increase.
