The isotropicity conjecture for the five canonical planes in the Debarre–Voisin tangent space

Let ZαZ_{\alpha} be the Debarre–Voisin variety associated with a general 33-form, and let TZα\mathcal{T}_{Z_{\alpha}} denote its tangent space at the point under consideration. The five canonically defined vector spaces of dimension 22 are subspaces of this tangent space.

Isotropicity conjecture. The five vector spaces of dimension 22 canonically defined in the relevant construction are maximal isotropic subspaces for the symplectic form on TZα\mathcal{T}_{Z_{\alpha}} constructed by Debarre and Voisin.

This conjecture predicts that the five distinguished 22-dimensional spaces form maximal isotropic subspaces for the natural symplectic structure. The supplied text gives heuristic evidence from computations and secant-line considerations, but does not state a resolution.
