The sign character of the triagonal fermionic coinvariant ring

Abstract

We determine the trigraded multiplicity of the sign character of the triagonal fermionic coinvariant ring $R_n^{(0,3)}$. As a corollary, this proves a conjecture of Bergeron (2020) that the multiplicity of the sign character of $R_n^{(0,3)}$ is $n^2-n+1$. We also give an explicit formula for double hook characters in the diagonal fermionic coinvariant ring $R_n^{(0,2)}$, and discuss methods towards calculating the sign character of $R_n^{(0,4)}$. Finally, we give a multigraded refinement of a conjecture of Bergeron (2020) that the multiplicity of the sign character of the $(1,3)$-bosonic-fermionic coinvariant ring $R_n^{(1,3)}$ is $\frac{1}{2}{F}_{3n}$, where $F_n$ is a Fibonacci number.
