The differential multiplicity conjecture for nice exponents

Let LL be a finite field of odd characteristic, and let ss be an exponent. Write s≉1s\not\approx 1 for the stated exponent equivalence relation, and call ss nice when it has the property defined in the source's preceding discussion. A differential multiplicity is the number of solutions associated with a differential of the power mapping. The differential multiplicity conjecture for nice exponents. If s≉1s\not\approx 1 and ss is nice, then 22 is a differential multiplicity. The conjecture is based on numerical evidence for odd characteristics from 33 through 3131; the supplied text does not state a resolution.
