A factorisation theorem for the coinvariant algebra of a unitary reflection group

We prove the following theorem. Let $G$ be a finite group generated by unitary reflections in a complex Hermitian space $V=\mathbb{C}^\ell$ and let $G'$ be any reflection subgroup of $G$. Let $\mathcal{H}(G)$ be the space of $G$-harmonic polynomials on $V$. There is a degree preserving isomorphism $ξ:\mathcal{H}(G')\otimes\mathcal{H}(G)^{G'}\overset{\sim}{\longrightarrow}\mathcal{H}$ of graded $\mathcal{N}$-modules, where $\mathcal{N}:=N_{\rm{GL}(V)}(G)\cap N_{\rm{GL}(V)}(G')$ and $\mathcal{H}^{G'}$ is the space of $G'$-fixed points of $\mathcal{H}$. This generalises a result of Douglass and Dyer for parabolic subgroups of real reflection groups.
