Primality conjecture for odd-size jet pfaffian ideals

Let rr and kk be positive integers, and let Ir2r+1,kI^{2r+1,k}_r denote the jet pfaffian ideal associated with the ideal of size-2r2r pfaffians of a generic (2r+1)×(2r+1)(2r+1)\times(2r+1) skew-symmetric matrix and its kk-jet scheme. Primality conjecture. For all positive integers rr and kk, the jet pfaffian ideals Ir2r+1,kI^{2r+1,k}_r are prime.

The corresponding classical pfaffian ideals are prime, and the preceding theorem shows that the associated jet pfaffian varieties are irreducible of codimension 3k3k. The conjecture asks for the stronger property of primality for the general jet pfaffian ideals; the paper gives computational evidence in a small case.
