Necessary condition for modular Hilbert-series changes of quasi-invariants

Let Qm(n)Q_m(n) denote the space of quasi-invariant polynomials in nn variables with parameter mm, and let pp be prime. Suppose the Hilbert series of Qm(n)Q_m(n) over Fp\mathbb F_p differs from its Hilbert series over C\mathbb C. Necessary-condition conjecture. There exist integers a0a\ge 0 and k0k\ge 0 such that

mn(n2)+(n2)n(n2)k+(n2)1pamnnk+1.\frac{mn(n-2)+\binom n2}{n(n-2)k+\binom n2-1}\le p^a\le\frac{mn}{nk+1}.

In particular, if p>mnp>mn, the Hilbert series over Fp\mathbb F_p is the same as over C\mathbb C. This conjecture is supported by computer calculations, especially for n=3,4n=3,4, and is connected to the modular representation theory of SnS_n; its general validity remains open.
