$(P,φ)$-Tamari lattices

TL;DR
This work introduces the $(P,\phi)$-Tamari lattices as a broad combinatorial framework extending the classical Tamari lattice to arbitrary posets and chains. By encoding torclosed subsets of a structured component $\mathcal{C}_P^{\phi}$, the authors establish that these lattices are join-semidistributive and, under suitable conditions, semidistributive, while also proving left modularity via edge-labellings. They connect these lattices to higher torsion classes in type $A$ Auslander and Nakayama algebras, showing these representation-theoretic lattices admit the same structural properties and can be analyzed through the same combinatorial lens. The paper develops tools for left modularity, extremality, and congruence normality using EL-labellings and doubling theory, and provides explicit main examples including chain cases and the $d$-torsion class lattices, highlighting both the reach and limitations (e.g., semidistributivity conditions) of the construction. Overall, the results provide a unifying combinatorial framework for a class of lattices arising in representation theory and offer new methods for studying their congruence lattices and extremal properties.
Abstract
Given any poset $P$ and chain $φ$ in $P$, we define the $(P,φ)$-Tamari lattice. We study in depth these lattices and prove in particular that they are join-semidistributive, join-congruence uniform and left modular. We prove that the lattices of higher torsion classes of the higher Auslander and Nakayama algebras of type $\mathbb{A}$ are examples of $(P,φ)$-Tamari lattices and thus they inherit their properties. We also give general results related to left modular, extremal and congruence normal lattices.
