(P,φ)-Tamari and higher torsion lattices of type A

The goal of this work is to study the combinatorics of the lattices of higher torsion classes of the higher Auslander and Nakayama algebras of type \textbf{A}. Combinatorial descriptions of these higher torsion classes were recently obtained by August \textit{et al.} (2025), and it was observed that the lattices that they form are not semidistributive. We study in some depth these lattices, proving in particular that the lattices of higher torsion classes of the higher Auslander algebras of type \textbf{A} are join-semidistributive, join-extremal and left modular. We also prove that the lattices of higher torsion classes of the higher Nakayama algebras of type \textbf{A} are lattice quotients of them. In order to prove these results, we define a general construction that produces a lattice, which we call $(P,\phi)$-Tamari, for any choice of poset $P$ and chain $\phi$ in $P$. We prove the lattice results for this general construction. When $P=\phi$ is a chain, we recover the Tamari lattice, whereas the lattices of higher torsion classes that we study are obtained for another very particular choice.
