Conjecture on rank-4 chiral polytopes for projective special linear groups

Let GPSL(2,q)G\cong PSL(2,q) with q=pdq=p^d and d>1d>1. A chiral polytope existence conjecture asserts that GG is the automorphism group of a chiral polytope of rank 44 if and only if one of the following conditions on qq is satisfied:

4<q0(mod2);4<q\equiv0\pmod{2}; 9<q1(mod4);9<q\equiv1\pmod{4};

or q=pd3(mod4)q=p^d\equiv3\pmod{4}, where d>1d>1 is not a prime power. The problem concerns the remaining cases not settled by the preceding theorem; computations support the conjecture for many values, up to q=1121q=11^{21}, but no general proof is supplied.
