Combinatorial Theory

Given a lattice path \(\nu\), the \(\nu\)-Tamari lattice and the \(\nu\)-Dyck lattice are two natural examples of partial order structures on the set of lattice paths that lie weakly above \(\nu\). In this paper, we introduce a more general family of lattices, called alt \(\nu\)-Tamari lattices, which contains these two examples as particular cases. Unexpectedly, we show that all these lattices have the same number of linear intervals.
