Conjecture on four-term irredundant generating sequences of PSL(2,p)

Let G=PSL(2,p)G=\mathrm{PSL}(2,p)), and let ιn(G)\iota_n(G) denote the set of divisors occurring as the relevant invariant for irredundant generating sequences of length nn in the paper. Four-term generating-sequence conjecture. For G=PSL(2,p)G=\mathrm{PSL}(2,p), ι4(G)=\iota_4(G)=\emptyset unless p=7,11,19,p=7,11,19, or 3131. In these exceptional cases, ι4(G)={2}\iota_4(G)=\{2\} unless p=11p=11, in which case ι4(G)={2,3}\iota_4(G)=\{2,3\}. The preceding theorem determines most of the sets ιn(G)\iota_n(G), while the question asks for the remaining cases; the conjecture gives a proposed complete description of ι4(G)\iota_4(G), but its general status is not established in the supplied text.
