Nakayama-type phenomena in higher Auslander--Reiten theory

This paper surveys recent contructions in higher Auslander--Reiten theory. We focus on those which, due to their combinatorial properties, can be regarded as higher dimensional analogues of path algebras of linearly oriented type $\mathbb{A}$ quivers. These include higher dimensional analogues of Nakayama algebras, of the mesh category of type $\mathbb{Z}\mathbb{A}_\infty$ and the tubes, and of the triangulated category generated by an $m$-spherical object. For $m=2$, the latter category can be regarded as the higher cluster category of type $\mathbb{A}_\infty$ whose cluster-tilting combinatorics are controlled by the triangulations of the cylic apeirotope.
