The first Betti number of the order complex associated with the poset.
The order complex of a poset is the simplicial complex whose faces are the chains of the poset. This statistic is the rank of the first homology group of the order complex.

The cell poset of the parallelogram polyomino corresponding to the Dyck path.
Let $D$ be a Dyck path of semilength $n$. The parallelogram polyomino $\gamma(D)$ is defined as follows: let $\tilde D = d_0 d_1 \dots d_{2n+1}$ be the Dyck path obtained by prepending an up step and appending a down step to $D$. Then, the upper path of $\gamma(D)$ corresponds to the sequence of steps of $\tilde D$ with even indices, and the lower path of $\gamma(D)$ corresponds to the sequence of steps of $\tilde D$ with odd indices.
This map returns the cell poset of $\gamma(D)$. In this partial order, the cells of the polyomino are the elements and a cell covers those cells with which it shares an edge and which are closer to the origin.

Return the inverse of the Kreweras complement of a Dyck path, regarded as a noncrossing set partition.
To identify Dyck paths and noncrossing set partitions, this maps uses the following classical bijection. The number of down steps after the $i$-th up step of the Dyck path is the size of the block of the set partition whose maximal element is $i$. If $i$ is not a maximal element of a block, the $(i+1)$-st step is also an up step.
