Index-one conjecture for the biharmonic map from the generalised Clifford torus

From papers

Let Sl(12)×Sl(12)\mathbb S^{l}(\frac{1}{2})\times\mathbb S^{l}(\frac{1}{2}) be the generalised Clifford torus, viewed as a submanifold of S2l+2\mathbb S^{2l+2}, and consider the associated biharmonic map into S2l+2\mathbb S^{2l+2}. Generalised Clifford torus index conjecture. The biharmonic map constructed from the generalised Clifford torus has index 11. This would determine the precise index in this family; the surrounding results provide lower bounds for indices of biharmonic maps, but the supplied text gives no resolution of this claim.
