Abstract: The lattice of Dyck paths with the dominance partial order is studied. The notions of filling and degree of a Dyck path are introduced, studied and used for the evaluation of the Möbius function and its powers. The relation between the symmetric group endowed with the weak Bruhat order and the set of Dyck paths is studied.
