Abstract: Let R_n be the ring of coinvariants for the diagonal action of the symmetric group S_n. It is known that the character of R_n as a doubly-graded S_n module can be expressed using the Frobenius characteristic map as

abla e_n, where e_n is the n-th elementary symmetric function, and abla is an operator from the theory of Macdonald polynomials. We conjecture a combinatorial formula for abla e_n and prove that it has many desirable properties which support our conjecture. In particular, we prove that our formula is a symmetric function (which is not obvious) and that it is Schur positive. These results make use of the theory of ribbon tableau generating functions of Lascoux, Leclerc and Thibon. We also show that a variety of earlier conjectures and theorems on abla e_n are special cases of our conjecture. Finally, we extend our conjectures on abla e_n and several of the results supporting them to higher powers

abla^m e_n.
