Abstract: The symmetric group

m a t h f r a k S_{n}

acts on the polynomial ring

m a t h b b Q [m a t h b f x_{n}] = m a t h b b Q [x_{1}, d o t s, x_{n}]

by variable permutation. The invariant ideal

I_{n}

is the ideal generated by all

m a t h f r a k S_{n}

-invariant polynomials with vanishing constant term. The quotient

R_{n} = f r a c m a t h b b Q [m a t h b f x_{n}] I_{n}

is called the coinvariant algebra. The coinvariant algebra

R_{n}

has received a great deal of study in algebraic and geometric combinatorics. We introduce a generalization

I_{n, k} s u b s e t e q m a t h b b Q [m a t h b f x_{n}]

of the ideal

I_{n}

indexed by two positive integers

k l e q n

. The corresponding quotient

R_{n, k} := f r a c m a t h b b Q [m a t h b f x_{n}] I_{n, k}

carries a graded action of

m a t h f r a k S_{n}

and specializes to

R_{n}

when

k = n

. We generalize many of the nice properties of

R_{n}

to

R_{n, k}

. In particular, we describe the Hilbert series of

R_{n, k}

, give extensions of the Artin and Garsia-Stanton monomial bases of

R_{n}

to

R_{n, k}

, determine the reduced Gr"obner basis for

I_{n, k}

with respect to the lexicographic monomial order, and describe the graded Frobenius series of

R_{n, k}

. Just as the combinatorics of

R_{n}

are controlled by permutations in

m a t h f r a k S_{n}

, we will show that the combinatorics of

R_{n, k}

are controlled by ordered set partitions of

1, 2, d o t s, n

with

k

blocks. The {em Delta Conjecture} of Haglund, Remmel, and Wilson is a generalization of the Shuffle Conjecture in the theory of diagonal coinvariants. We will show that the graded Frobenius series of

R_{n, k}

is (up to a minor twist) the

t = 0

specialization of the combinatorial side of the Delta Conjecture. It remains an open problem to give a bigraded

m a t h f r a k S_{n}

-module

V_{n, k}

whose Frobenius image is even conjecturally equal to any of the expressions in the Delta Conjecture; our module

R_{n, k}

solves this problem in the specialization

t = 0

.
