Towards m-Cambrian Lattices

For positive integers $m$ and $k$, we introduce a family of lattices $\mathcal{C}_{k}^{(m)}$ associated to the Cambrian lattice $\mathcal{C}_{k}$ of the dihedral group $I_{2}(k)$. We show that $\mathcal{C}_{k}^{(m)}$ satisfies some basic properties of a Fuss-Catalan generalization of $\mathcal{C}_{k}$, namely that $\mathcal{C}_{k}^{(1)}=\mathcal{C}_{k}$ and $\bigl\lvert\mathcal{C}_{k}^{(m)}\bigr\rvert=\mbox{Cat}^{(m)}\bigl(I_{2}(k)\bigr)$. Subsequently, we prove some structural and topological properties of these lattices---namely that they are trim and EL-shellable---which were known for $\mathcal{C}_{k}$ before. Remarkably, our construction coincides in the case $k=3$ with the $m$-Tamari lattice of parameter 3 due to Bergeron and Pr{é}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 $\mathfrak{S}_{n}$ and the long cycle $(1\;2\;\ldots\;n)$ is isomorphic to the $m$-Tamari lattice of parameter $n$.
