The graded character conjecture for derivative spaces DμD_{\mu}

Let μ\mu be a partition of nn, and let Dμ=r,s(Dμ)r,sD_{\mu}=\bigoplus_{r,s}(D_{\mu})_{r,s} be the doubly graded SnS_n-module of partial derivatives of Δμ\Delta_{\mu}. Write chV\operatorname{ch}V for the character of an SnS_n-module VV, and let χλ\chi^{\lambda} be the irreducible character indexed by the partition λ\lambda of nn.

Graded character conjecture. We have

K~λμ(q,t)=r,strqsχλ,ch(Dμ)r,s.\tilde{K}_{\lambda\mu}(q,t)=\sum_{r,s}t^rq^s\left\langle\chi^{\lambda},\operatorname{ch}(D_{\mu})_{r,s}\right\rangle.

This stronger conjecture implies Macdonald positivity by expressing each coefficient as a graded multiplicity. The source presents it as a conjecture related to the n!n! conjecture, without supplying a resolution status here.
