The depth of a permutation. This is given by $$\operatorname{dp}(\sigma) = \sum_{\sigma_i>i} (\sigma_i-i) = |\{ i \leq j : \sigma_i > j\}|.$$ The depth is half of the total displacement [4], Problem 5.1.1.28, or Spearman’s disarray [3] $\sum_i |\sigma_i-i|$. Permutations with depth at most $1$ are called ''almost-increasing'' in [5].

The sum of the descent differences of a permutations. This statistic is given by $$\pi \mapsto \sum_{i\in\operatorname{Des}(\pi)} (\pi_i-\pi_{i+1}).$$ See [[St000111]] and [[St000154]] for the sum of the descent tops and the descent bottoms, respectively. This statistic was studied in [1] and [2] where is was called the ''drop'' of a permutation.

The depth of a signed permutation. The depth of a positive root is its rank in the root poset. The depth of an element of a Coxeter group is the minimal sum of depths for any representation as product of reflections.

The sorting index of a permutation. The sorting index counts the total distance that symbols move during a selection sort of a permutation. This sorting algorithm swaps symbol n into index n and then recursively sorts the first n-1 symbols. Compare this to [[St000018]], the number of inversions of a permutation, which is also the total distance that elements move during a bubble sort.

The sorting index of a signed permutation. A signed permutation $\sigma = [\sigma(1),\ldots,\sigma(n)]$ can be sorted $[1,\ldots,n]$ by signed transpositions in the following way: First move $\pm n$ to its position and swap the sign if needed, then $\pm (n-1), \pm (n-2)$ and so on. For example for $[2,-4,5,-1,-3]$ we have the swaps $$ [2,-4,5,-1,-3] \rightarrow [2,-4,-3,-1,5] \rightarrow [2,1,-3,4,5] \rightarrow [2,1,3,4,5] \rightarrow [1,2,3,4,5] $$ given by the signed transpositions $(3,5), (-2,4), (-3,3), (1,2)$. If $(i_1,j_1),\ldots,(i_n,j_n)$ is the decomposition of $\sigma$ obtained this way (including trivial transpositions) then the sorting index of $\sigma$ is defined as $$ \operatorname{sor}_B(\sigma) = \sum_{k=1}^{n-1} j_k - i_k - \chi(i_k < 0), $$ where $\chi(i_k < 0)$ is 1 if $i_k$ is negative and 0 otherwise. For $\sigma = [2,-4,5,-1,-3]$ we have $$ \operatorname{sor}_B(\sigma) = (5-3) + (4-(-2)-1) + (3-(-3)-1) + (2-1) = 13. $$

The dimension of a set partition. This is the sum of the lengths of the arcs of a set partition. Equivalently, one obtains that this is the sum of the maximal entries of the blocks minus the sum of the minimal entries of the blocks. A slightly shifted definition of the dimension is [[St000572]].

The largest eigenvalue of a graph if it is integral. If a graph is $d$-regular, then its largest eigenvalue equals $d$. One can show that the largest eigenvalue always lies between the average degree and the maximal degree. This statistic is undefined if the largest eigenvalue of the graph is not integral.

The number of two-by-two squares inside a skew partition. This is, the number of cells $(i,j)$ in a skew partition for which the box $(i+1,j+1)$ is also a cell inside the skew partition.

The number of simple modules with projective dimension two in the incidence algebra of the poset.

Number of indecomposable injective modules with projective dimension 2.
