Abstract

Let WW be an irreducible complex reflection group acting on its reflection representation VV. We consider the doubly graded action of WW on the exterior algebra (VV)\wedge (V \oplus V^*) as well as its quotient DRW:=(VV)/(VV)+WDR_W := \wedge (V \oplus V^*)/ \langle \wedge (V \oplus V^*)^{W}_+ \rangle by the ideal generated by its homogeneous WW-invariants with vanishing constant term. We describe the bigraded isomorphism type of DRWDR_W; when W=SnW = \mathfrak{S}_n is the symmetric group, the answer is a difference of Kronecker products of hook-shaped Sn\mathfrak{S}_n-modules. We relate the Hilbert series of DRWDR_W to the (type A) Catalan and Narayana numbers and describe a standard monomial basis of DRWDR_W using a variant of Motzkin paths. Our methods are type-uniform and involve a Lefschetz-like theory which applies to the exterior algebra (VV)\wedge (V \oplus V^*).
