Singularity of Quot schemes containing twisted cotangent bundles

Prove or disprove that the Quot schemes containing a point corresponding to the twisted cotangent bundle \(\Omega_{\mathbb{P}^{n}}(2)\) are singular for every \(n\geq 3\).

Background

The paper gives an explicit example for n=3n=3 in which the Quot scheme containing the twisted cotangent bundle ΩP3(2)\Omega_{\mathbb{P}^{3}}(2) is singular. It then discusses computational data for dimensions up to n=9n=9.

The observed multiplicities grow rapidly and lead the authors to formulate the all-dimensional assertion only as an apparent pattern; the statement remains unresolved for general n3n\geq 3.

References

In particular, it appears that the Quot schemes, containing a point corresponding to \Omega_{\mathbb{P}{n}}(2), are singular for all n \geqslant 3.
