Sagan–Swanson's type B Hilbert-series conjecture for the superspace coinvariant ring

From papers

Let Ωn=C[x1,,xn]θ1,,θn\Omega_n=\mathbb{C}[x_1,\ldots,x_n]\otimes\bigwedge\langle\theta_1,\ldots,\theta_n\rangle be the superspace, and let SRnBSR^B_n be its type BB superspace coinvariant ring. Write [k]q=1+q++qk1[k]_q=1+q+\cdots+q^{k-1}, define [n]!!q=[n]q[n2]q[n]!!_q=[n]_q[n-2]_q\cdots, and let StirqB(n,k)\operatorname{Stir}^B_q(n,k) be the type BB qq-Stirling numbers. The variables qq and zz record bosonic and fermionic degree, respectively. Sagan–Swanson's type B Hilbert-series conjecture. The bigraded Hilbert series is

Hilb(SRnB;q,z)=k=0n[2k]!!qStirqB(n,k)znk.\operatorname{Hilb}(SR^B_n;q,z)=\sum_{k=0}^n [2k]!!_q\cdot \operatorname{Stir}^B_q(n,k)\cdot z^{n-k}.

The conjecture gives the expected type BB analogue of the previously conjectured Hilbert-series formula for the superspace coinvariant ring. In the supplied paper, the formula is presented before the authors' proof of the type BB result, so its resolution should be checked against the paper's theorem.
