Reduced auto-arc affine-space criterion for smoothness

Let XX be a variety over kk, let pp be a point of XX, and let An(X,p)\mathcal{A}_n(X,p) be its auto-arc space at level nn. Let κ(p)\kappa(p) be the residue field at pp, and write An(X,p)red\mathcal{A}_n(X,p)^{\operatorname{red}} for the reduction. Auto-arc affine-space smoothness conjecture. If, for all sufficiently large nn, there is an rnNr_n\in\mathbb{N} such that

An(X,p)redAκ(p)rn,\mathcal{A}_n(X,p)^{\operatorname{red}}\cong\mathbb{A}_{\kappa(p)}^{r_n},

then XX is smooth at pp. The preceding theorem proves the corresponding local auto-arc description at smooth points; the converse criterion is proposed as a way to detect smoothness.
