Research

Diagonal harmonics in superspace is a natural extension of the classical coinvariant theory of symmetric groups. I am motivated by a conjecture by Zabrocki that links such a module to the Delta conjecture. I found a new description of its alternating component and subsequently conjectured an \(\mathcal{S}_{n}\)-invariant basis that generalized the classical higher Specht basis.
