Abstract

For positive integers mm and kk, we introduce a family of lattices Ck(m)\mathcal{C}_{k}^{(m)} associated to the Cambrian lattice Ck\mathcal{C}_{k} of the dihedral group I2(k)I_{2}(k). We show that Ck(m)\mathcal{C}_{k}^{(m)} satisfies some basic properties of a Fuss-Catalan generalization of Ck\mathcal{C}_{k}, namely that Ck(1)=Ck\mathcal{C}_{k}^{(1)}=\mathcal{C}_{k} and Ck(m)=\mboxCat(m)(I2(k))\bigl\lvert\mathcal{C}_{k}^{(m)}\bigr\rvert=\mbox{Cat}^{(m)}\bigl(I_{2}(k)\bigr). Subsequently, we prove some structural and topological properties of these lattices---namely that they are trim and EL-shellable---which were known for Ck\mathcal{C}_{k} before. Remarkably, our construction coincides in the case k=3k=3 with the mm-Tamari lattice of parameter 3 due to Bergeron and Pr{\'e}ville-Ratelle. Eventually, we investigate this construction in the context of other Coxeter groups, in particular we conjecture that the lattice completion of the analogous construction for the symmetric group Sn\mathfrak{S}_{n} and the long cycle (1  2    n)(1\;2\;\ldots\;n) is isomorphic to the mm-Tamari lattice of parameter nn.
