Abstract

Let Bn\mathfrak{B}_n denote the hyperoctahedral group. The type BB coinvariant rings RBn(k,j)R_{\mathfrak{B}_n}^{(k,j)} are quotients of the ring of polynomials in kk sets of nn commuting variables and jj sets of nn anticommuting variables by the ideal generated by the diagonal Bn\mathfrak{B}_n-invariants without constant term. Building upon the work of Kim--Rhoades (2022), we give an explicit formula for the bigraded Frobenius series of RBn(0,2)R_{\mathfrak{B}_n}^{(0,2)}: the bigraded multiplicity of each irreducible Bn\mathfrak{B}_n-character is a single Schur polynomial, so RBn(0,2)R_{\mathfrak{B}_n}^{(0,2)} is multiplicity-free as a GL2×Bn\operatorname{GL}_2 \times \mathfrak{B}_n-module. We then determine that the trigraded multiplicity of the sign character of RBn(0,3)R_{\mathfrak{B}_n}^{(0,3)} is given by a single Schur function. Finally, for all kk and jj, we determine the multiplicity of the standard character in the type AA coinvariant ring Rn(k,j)R_{n}^{(k,j)}, as well as the multiplicities of the characters indexed by the bipartitions ((n1),(1))((n-1),(1)) and ((n1,1),)((n-1,1),\varnothing) in RBn(k,j)R_{\mathfrak{B}_n}^{(k,j)}. These are the first nontrivial characters established for all (k,j)(k,j) in either of types AA or BB.
