Smirnov Words and the Delta Conjectures

Abstract. We provide a combinatorial interpretation for the symmetric function ΘekΘelen-k-l |t=0 in terms of Smirnov words, which are words where adjacent letters are distinct. The motivation for this work is the study of a diagonal coinvariant ring with one set of commuting and two sets of anti-commuting variables, whose Frobenius characteristic is conjectured to be the symmetric function in question. It is intimately related to the two Delta conjectures, as our work is a step towards a unified formulation of these.
