Vatne's conjecture on Cohen–Macaulay triple structures

Let LPNL \subset \mathbb{P}^N be a subspace of dimension n6n \geq 6 and arbitrary codimension. Let L(2)L^{(2)} denote the second infinitesimal neighborhood of LL, and let YPNY \subset \mathbb{P}^N be a Cohen–Macaulay subscheme of degree three satisfying

LYL(2).L \subset Y \subset L^{(2)}.

Vatne's conjecture. There is a degree-two Cohen–Macaulay subscheme ZZ such that

LZY.L \subset Z \subset Y.

This conjecture is proposed as a test toward classifying Cohen–Macaulay multiple structures on a linear space up to degree three. Its status is not resolved in the supplied source.
