Tanisaki quotient conjecture for the modules Vn=(a)V_n^=({\mathbf a})

Let rnr\leq n be nonnegative integers, put k=nrk=n-r, and let a(Z0)r{\mathbf a}\in({\mathbb Z}_{\geq0})^r. Define Vn=(a)V_n^=({\mathbf a}) as the associated graded quotient for the componentwise partial order on length-rr sequences, and let RλR_\lambda be the Tanisaki quotient associated with a partition λ\lambda. Let grFrob{\mathrm {grFrob}} denote graded Frobenius image, ω\omega the standard involution on symmetric functions, and revq{\mathrm {rev}}_q reversal in qq. Tanisaki quotient conjecture. There exists a partition λn\lambda\vdash n with kk parts such that

(revqω)grFrob(Vn=(a);q)=grFrob(Rλ;q).({\mathrm {rev}}_q\circ\omega){\mathrm {grFrob}}(V_n^=({\mathbf a});q)={\mathrm {grFrob}}(R_\lambda;q).

Equivalently, if Qλ(X;q)Q'_\lambda(X;q) is the Hall–Littlewood QQ'-function, then

ω[grFrob(Vn=(a);q)]Qλ(X;q),\omega[{\mathrm {grFrob}}(V_n^=({\mathbf a});q)]\propto Q'_\lambda(X;q),

where \propto denotes equality up to a power of qq. The claim would extend the observed relationships between these modules and Tanisaki quotients beyond the computed examples; the source explicitly notes that it does not have a full conjecture in this direction, so this formulation is computationally motivated.
