Pappas–Rapoport reducedness conjecture for a symplectic nilpotent scheme

Let FF be a field with characteristic e2 e 2, and let nn be an integer divisible by 44. Let JJ be the n×nn\times n matrix defining the symplectic form, and let WW be the scheme of n×nn\times n matrices XX over SpecF\operatorname{Spec} F satisfying

JXTJ=X,X2=0,charX(T)=Tn.-JX^T J=X,\qquad X^2=0,\qquad \operatorname{char}_X(T)=T^n.

Pappas–Rapoport's conjecture. The scheme WW is reduced.

This is the equal-parts case of a more general conjecture formulated by Pappas and Rapoport for even nn, depending on a partition of nn into two even parts. The paper proves a special case under additional conditions, while the stated version is not established in the supplied context.
