An extension of Tamari lattices
Abstract
For any finite path on the square grid consisting of north and east unit steps, starting at (0,0), we construct a poset Tam that consists of all the paths weakly above with the same number of north and east steps as . For particular choices of , we recover the traditional Tamari lattice and the -Tamari lattice. Let be the path obtained from by reading the unit steps of in reverse order, replacing the east steps by north steps and vice versa. We show that the poset Tam is isomorphic to the dual of the poset Tam. We do so by showing bijectively that the poset Tam is isomorphic to the poset based on rotation of full binary trees with the fixed canopy , from which the duality follows easily. This also shows that Tam is a lattice for any path . We also obtain as a corollary of this bijection that the usual Tamari lattice, based on Dyck paths of height , is a partition of the (smaller) lattices Tam, where the are all the paths on the square grid that consist of unit steps. We explain possible connections between the poset Tam and (the combinatorics of) the generalized diagonal coinvariant spaces of the symmetric group.
