Hilbert polynomial conjecture for top Kähler differentials of fat point schemes

Let KK be the ground field, let W=m1P1++msPs\mathbb W=m_1P_1+\cdots+m_sP_s be a fat point scheme in Pn\mathbb P^n, and let

Y=(m11)P1++(ms1)Ps.\mathbb Y=(m_1-1)P_1+\cdots+(m_s-1)P_s.

Write RWR_{\mathbb W} for the homogeneous coordinate ring of W\mathbb W, and let ΩRW/Kn+1\Omega^{n+1}_{R_{\mathbb W}/K} denote its module of Kähler differentials of degree n+1n+1. Hilbert polynomial conjecture. One has

HPΩRW/Kn+1(z)=HPY(z).\operatorname{HP}_{\Omega^{n+1}_{R_{\mathbb W}/K}}(z)=\operatorname{HP}_{\mathbb Y}(z).

The formula generalizes the corresponding result for reduced point sets, but the source states that no explicit formula is known in general for the Hilbert polynomial of the top Kähler differentials of a non-reduced fat point scheme. Thus the assertion remains open.
