Explicit power-sum formula for higher diagonal harmonics

Let Hn(r)(w;1,1,1)\mathscr{H}_n^{(r)}(\mathbf{w};1,1,1) denote the specialization of the graded Frobenius characteristic of the higher diagonal harmonics at q1=q2=1q_1=q_2=1. For a partition λn\lambda\vdash n, let (λ)\ell(\lambda) be its number of parts, zλz_\lambda the standard symmetric-group factor, pλ(w)p_\lambda(\mathbf{w}) the power-sum symmetric function, and let kλ\prod_{k\in\lambda} denote the product over the parts of λ\lambda. Explicit Frobenius formula conjecture. The specialized Frobenius characteristic is

Hn(r)(w;1,1,1)=λn(1)n(λ)(rn+1)(λ)2(kλ((r+1)kk))1zλpλ(w).\mathscr{H}_n^{(r)}(\mathbf{w};1,1,1)=\sum_{\lambda\vdash n}(-1)^{n-\ell(\lambda)}(rn+1)^{\ell(\lambda)-2}\left(\prod_{k\in\lambda}\binom{(r+1)k}{k}\right)\frac{1}{z_\lambda}p_\lambda(\mathbf{w}).

This gives an explicit power-sum expansion for the specialization that earlier results identify with a weighted enumeration of rr-Dyck paths and parking functions; the formula is motivated by calculations and is stated as an additional conjecture.
