Buzzard–Kilford boundary eigencurve conjecture for ramified nebentypus slopes

Let pp be an odd prime, let NN be coprime to pp, and let ψ0\psi_0 be a character of (Z/pZ)×(\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z})^\times with ψ0(1)=1\psi_0(-1)=-1. For m2m\geq 2, let ψ\psi be a character of (Z/pmZ)×(\mathbb{Z}/p^m\mathbb{Z})^\times of exact conductor pmp^m, and let k+12k+1\geq 2 be an integer. Write ω\omega for the Teichmüller character. Buzzard–Kilford's conjecture. There exists a non-decreasing sequence of rational numbers a1,a2,a_1,a_2,\dots tending to infinity such that, whenever

ψ(Z/pZ)×ωk=ψ0,\psi|_{(\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z})^\times}\cdot\omega^k=\psi_0,

the slopes of UpU_p on Sk+1(Γ0(pmN);ψ)S_{k+1}(\Gamma_0(p^mN);\psi) are the first terms of

a1/pm, a2/pm, a_1/p^m,\ a_2/p^m,\ \dots

consisting of all terms strictly less than kk and some terms equal to kk. Moreover, the sequence a1,a2,a_1,a_2,\dots is a union of finitely many arithmetic progressions. This is an expectation about the eigencurve near the boundary of weight space; the paper presents its slope formula as positive evidence, while the general assertion remains open.
