Fields conjecture on the symmetric-group module structure of the superspace coinvariant ring

Let Ωn\Omega_n be the superspace ring with diagonal Sn\mathfrak{S}_n-action, let SRn=Ωn/SInSR_n=\Omega_n/SI_n be its superspace coinvariant ring, and let F[OPn]\mathbb{F}[\mathcal{OP}_n] be the permutation module on ordered set partitions of [n][n]. Let sign\operatorname{sign} denote the one-dimensional sign representation of Sn\mathfrak{S}_n. Fields conjecture on the module structure. There is an isomorphism of ungraded Sn\mathfrak{S}_n-modules

SRnSnF[OPn]Fsign.SR_n\cong_{\mathfrak{S}_n}\mathbb{F}[\mathcal{OP}_n]\otimes_{\mathbb{F}}\operatorname{sign}.

This is one of the Fields Conjectures, asserting that the ungraded representation carried by the superspace coinvariant ring is modeled by ordered set partitions, with a sign twist. The supplied text gives no resolution status.
