Abstract

The superspace ring Ωn\Omega_n is a rank nn polynomial ring tensor a rank nn exterior algebra. Using an extension of the Vandermonde determinant to Ωn\Omega_n, the authors previously defined a family of doubly graded quotients Wn,k\mathbb{W}_{n,k} of Ωn\Omega_n which carry an action of the symmetric group Sn\mathfrak{S}_n and satisfy a bigraded version of Poincar\'e Duality. In this paper, we examine the duality modules Wn,k\mathbb{W}_{n,k} in greater detail. We describe a monomial basis of Wn,k\mathbb{W}_{n,k} and give combinatorial formulas for its bigraded Hilbert and Frobenius series. These formulas involve new combinatorial objects called {\em ordered superpartitions}. These are ordered set partitions (B1Bk)(B_1 \mid \cdots \mid B_k) of {1,,n}\{1,\dots,n\} in which the non-minimal elements of any block BiB_i may be barred or unbarred.
