The graded hat-harmonics conjecture

Let D^k=i=1nik+1xi\widehat{D}_k=\sum_{i=1}^n\partial_i^{k+1}x_i for k1k\geq1, and define the space of hat-harmonics by

H^x={f(x)R[x]D^kf(x)=0, k1}.\widehat{\mathcal{H}}_{\mathbf{x}}=\{f(\mathbf{x})\in\mathbb{R}[\mathbf{x}]\mid \widehat{D}_k f(\mathbf{x})=0,\ \forall k\geq1\}.

The symmetric group Sn\mathfrak S_n acts by permuting variables, and the space is graded. The graded hat-harmonics conjecture. As a graded Sn\mathfrak S_n-module, H^x\widehat{\mathcal{H}}_{\mathbf{x}} is isomorphic to the space of Sn\mathfrak S_n-harmonics. This would imply, in particular, the experimentally observed dimension n!n!.
