Yasuda's smoothness conjecture for higher Nash blowups

From papers

Let kk be a field of characteristic zero, let XX be a variety of dimension dd, and let JXJ\subseteq X be the Jacobian subscheme. Denote by J(d1)J^{(d-1)} its (d1)(d-1)-th neighborhood, namely the closed subscheme defined by the dd-th power of the Jacobian ideal sheaf. For [Z]Nashn(X)[Z]\in \mathbf{Nash}_n(X), assume that ZJ(d1)Z\nsubseteq J^{(d-1)}. Yasuda's conjecture. The higher Nash blowup Nashn(X)\mathbf{Nash}_n(X) is smooth at [Z][Z]. The conjecture concerns desingularization by higher Nash blowups. Together with the fact that, for every closed subscheme YXY\subseteq X of dimension less than dd, all sufficiently large nn satisfy ZYZ\nsubseteq Y for every [Z]Nashn(X)[Z]\in\mathbf{Nash}_n(X), it especially predicts that Nashn(X)\mathbf{Nash}_n(X) is smooth for n0n\gg0.
