Conjectural sums of minimal permutation representation invariants for groups of orders p4p^4 and p5p^5

For a finite group GG, let 4Δ(G)44\Delta(G)4 denote the invariant used in the paper, and let the sums range over isomorphism classes of groups of the indicated order. Numerical-sum conjecture. For every prime p>3p>3,

G=p4Δ(G)=1+5p+11p2+9p3,\sum_{|G|=p^{4}}\Delta(G)=1+\frac{5}{p}+\frac{11}{p^{2}}+\frac{9}{p^{3}},

and

G=p5Δ(G)=1+7p+34+2gcd(p1,3)+gcd(p1,4)p2+54p3+24p4.\sum_{|G|=p^{5}}\Delta(G)=1+\frac{7}{p}+\frac{34+2\gcd(p-1,3)+\gcd(p-1,4)}{p^{2}}+\frac{54}{p^{3}}+\frac{24}{p^{4}}.

These formulas extend the explicitly computed sums for groups of orders pp, p2p^2, and p3p^3; the source presents the cases p4p^4 and p5p^5 as conjectural numerical results, with no resolution supplied here.
