The Heaviside filtration conjecture for Orlik–Terao representations

Let MnM_n and DnD_n be graded representations of SnS_n, and let C[Sn/Zn]\mathbb{C}[S_n/Z_n] carry the Heaviside filtration obtained by pushing forward the Heaviside filtration on the regular representation C[Sn]\mathbb{C}[S_n] under averaging over the right action of the cyclic subgroup ZnZ_n.

Heaviside filtration conjecture. The graded representations MnM_n and DnD_n of SnS_n are both isomorphic to the associated graded representation of the Heaviside filtration on C[Sn/Zn]\mathbb{C}[S_n/Z_n].

This strengthens the ungraded conjecture by predicting the grading, and the source reports verification at the level of graded vector spaces through n=5n=5. No general resolution is stated.
