Piecewise-triviality of truncation maps for affine smooth schemes

Let X\mathbbmssSchκX\in\mathbbmss{Sch}_{\kappa} be affine. Suppose that XnX\to\mathfrak{n} and XmX\to\mathfrak{m} are smooth morphisms, where nm\mathfrak{n}\hookrightarrow\mathfrak{m} are elements of the point system X\mathbb{X} associated to an admissible arc xArcκ\mathfrak{x}\in\operatorname{\bf Arc}_{\kappa}. Write (n)\ell(n) and (m)\ell(m) for the lengths of the fat points and let dd denote the relevant relative dimension. Piecewise-triviality conjecture. The natural morphism

πnm:mXnX\pi_{\mathfrak{n}}^{\mathfrak{m}}:\nabla_{\mathfrak{m}}X\to\nabla_{\mathfrak{n}}X

is a piecewise trivial fibration over κ\kappa with general fiber

Aκd((m)(n)).\mathbb{A}_{\kappa}^{d(\ell(m)-\ell(n))}.

This refines the earlier stability conjecture by describing the geometry of the truncation morphisms for affine schemes smooth over successive fat points. The supplied text gives no resolution of this refined conjecture.
