Abstract

Motivated by a recent conjecture of Zabrocki, Wallach described the alternants in the super-coinvariant algebra of the symmetric group in one set of commuting and one set of anti-commuting variables under the diagonal action. We give a type-independent generalization of Wallach's result to all real reflection groups GG. As an intermediate step, we explicitly describe the alternating super-polynomials in k[V]Λ(V)k[V] \otimes \Lambda(V) for all complex reflection groups, providing an analogue of a classic result of Solomon which describes the invariant super-polynomials in k[V]Λ(V)k[V] \otimes \Lambda(V^*). Using our construction, we explicitly describe the alternating harmonics and coinvariants for all real reflection groups.
