The superspace coinvariant problem

Let Ωn\Omega_n be the superspace algebra with commuting variables x1,,xnx_1,\ldots,x_n and anticommuting variables θ1,,θn\theta_1,\ldots,\theta_n, acted on by the symmetric group Sn\mathfrak{S}_n. Let (Ωn)+SnΩn\langle (\Omega_n)^{\mathfrak{S}_n}_+\rangle\subseteq\Omega_n be the ideal generated by the Sn\mathfrak{S}_n-invariants with vanishing constant term, and let Wn,k\mathbb{W}_{n,k} denote the corresponding superspace module. Write grFrob(;q,z)\operatorname{grFrob}(-;q,z) for the graded Frobenius characteristic, where qq records commuting-variable degree and zz records anticommuting-variable degree, and let {znk}\{z^{n-k}\} extract the coefficient of znkz^{n-k}. The superspace coinvariant problem. For any kk, one has

{znk}grFrob(Ωn/(Ωn)+Sn;q,z)={znk}grFrob(Wn,k;q,z).\{z^{n-k}\}\,\operatorname{grFrob}\left(\Omega_n/\langle(\Omega_n)^{\mathfrak{S}_n}_+\rangle;q,z\right)=\{z^{n-k}\}\,\operatorname{grFrob}(\mathbb{W}_{n,k};q,z).

This is presented as an equivalent formulation of the superspace coinvariant problem that motivates the work. The supplied passage does not state whether the problem has been solved, so its resolution remains open here.
