The modified ghost conjecture for 2-adic slopes

At least 9 years old · documented by

Let NN be a positive integer, let p=2p=2 be a Γ0(N)\Gamma_0(N)-regular prime, and let Gκ∘G^\circ_\kappa be the modified ghost series incorporating the fractional repeated slopes from the spaces Sk(Γ0(N)∩Γ1(8),η8±)S_k(\Gamma_0(N)\cap\Gamma_1(8),\eta_8^{\pm}). Let PκP_\kappa be the corresponding Fredholm series, and write NP⁡(−)\operatorname{NP}(-) for the Newton polygon.

Modified ghost conjecture. For each κ∈W\kappa\in\mathcal W,

NP⁡(Gκ∘)=NP⁡(Pκ).\operatorname{NP}(G^\circ_\kappa)=\operatorname{NP}(P_\kappa).

The modification is designed to account for non-integral repeated slopes that the original ghost series does not detect at p=2p=2 and higher tame level. The claim is presented as a proposed salvage of the ghost conjecture and is not resolved in the source.
