Symplectic small deformations of special instanton bundle on \(\mathbb{P}^{2n + 1}\) (Q1570189)

Let \(M\) denote the moduli space of stable symplectic instanton bundles on \(\mathbb{P}^{2n+1}\) with second Chern class \(k\). The author proves that, for \(k\geq 2\), the dimension of the Zariski tangent space \(H^1(S^2E)\) to \(M\) at a special instanton bundle \(E\) is \(2k(5n-1)+ 4n^2-10n+3\). This is non-trivial because the obstruction space \(H^2(S^2E)\) is in general non-zero (although all the other cohomology of \(S^2E\) is zero).
