Abstract

This paper studies three results that describe the structure of the super-coinvariant algebra of pseudo-reflection groups over a field of characteristic 00. Our most general result determines the top component in total degree, which we prove for all Shephard--Todd groups G(m,p,n)G(m, p, n) with mpm \neq p or m=1m=1. Our strongest result gives tight bi-degree bounds and is proven for all G(m,1,n)G(m, 1, n), which includes the Weyl groups of types AA and BB/CC. For symmetric groups (i.e. type AA), this provides new evidence for a recent conjecture of Zabrocki related to the Delta Conjecture of Haglund--Remmel--Wilson. Finally, we examine analogues of a classic theorem of Steinberg and the Operator Theorem of Haiman. Our arguments build on the type-independent classification of semi-invariant harmonic differential forms carried out in the first part of this series. In this paper we use concrete constructions including Gr\"{o}bner and Artin bases for the classical coinvariant algebras of the pseudo-reflection groups G(m,p,n)G(m, p, n), which we describe in detail. We also prove that exterior differentiation is exact on the super-coinvariant algebra of a general pseudo-reflection group. Finally, we discuss related conjectures and enumerative consequences.
