On Framed Triangulations of Flow Polytopes, the ν-Tamari Lattice and Young's Lattice

Abstract. We study two combinatorially striking triangulations of a family of flow polytopes indexed by lattice paths ν which we call the ν-caracol flow polytopes. The first triangulation gives a geometric realization of the ν-Tamari complex introduced by Ceballos, Padrol and Sarmiento, whose dual graph is the Hasse diagram of the ν-Tamari lattice introduced by Préville-Ratelle and Viennot. The dual graph of the second triangulation is the Hasse diagram of the principal order ideal determined by ν in Young's lattice. We use the latter triangulation to show that the h*-vector of the ν-caracol flow polytope is given by the ν-Narayana numbers, extending the result of Mészáros when ν is a staircase lattice path.
