Abstract
There are representations of the type-A Hecke algebra on spaces of polynomials in anti-commuting variables. Luque and the author [Sém. Lothar. Combin. 66 (2012), Art. B66b, 68 pages, arXiv:1106.0875] constructed nonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials taking values in arbitrary modules of the Hecke algebra. In this paper the two ideas are combined to define and study nonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials taking values in the aforementioned anti-commuting polynomials, in other words, superpolynomials. The modules, their orthogonal bases and their properties are first derived. In terms of the standard Young tableau approach to representations these modules correspond to hook tableaux. The details of the Dunkl-Luque theory and the particular application are presented. There is an inner product on the polynomials for which the Macdonald polynomials are mutually orthogonal. The squared norms for this product are determined. By using techniques of Baker and Forrester [Ann. Comb. 3 (1999), 159-170, arXiv:q-alg/9707001] symmetric Macdonald polynomials are built up from the nonsymmetric theory. Here ''symmetric'' means in the Hecke algebra sense, not in the classical group sense. There is a concise formula for the squared norm of the minimal symmetric polynomial, and some formulas for anti-symmetric polynomials. For both symmetric and anti-symmetric polynomials there is a factorization when the polynomials are evaluated at special points.

Key words: superpolynomials; Hecke algebra; symmetrization; norms.
