A facial order for torsion classes

Abstract: We generalize the "facial weak order" of a finite Coxeter group to a partial order on a set of intervals in a complete lattice. We apply our construction to the lattice of torsion classes of a finite-dimensional algebra and consider its restriction to intervals coming from stability conditions. We give two additional interpretations of the resulting "facial semistable order": one using cover relations, and one using Bongartz completions of 2-term presilting objects. For $\tau$-tilting finite algebras, this allows us to prove that the facial semistable order is a semidistributive lattice. We then show that, in any abelian length category, our new partial order can be partitioned into a set of completely semidistributive lattices, one of which is the original lattice of torsion classes.
