The elimination ideal conjecture for rank-five subgroups containing an Fp2\mathbb{F}_{p^2}-subspace

Let pp be prime, let di,4d_{i,4} and di,5d_{i,5} be the invariant functions associated with rank 44 and rank 55 subgroups, respectively, and regard F[d1,5,,d5,5]\mathbb{F}[d_{1,5},\ldots,d_{5,5}] as a subalgebra of the polynomial algebra in the rank-44 invariants. The ideal intersection

d1,4,d3,4F[d1,5,,d5,5]\langle d_{1,4},d_{3,4}\rangle\cap\mathbb{F}[d_{1,5},\ldots,d_{5,5}]

is the elimination ideal describing the corresponding variety.

Elimination ideal conjecture. One has

d1,4,d3,4F[d1,5,,d5,5]=d5,5pd4,5d1,5p, d3,5pd2,5d1,5p.\langle d_{1,4},d_{3,4}\rangle\cap\mathbb{F}[d_{1,5},\ldots,d_{5,5}] =\langle d_{5,5}^p-d_{4,5}d_{1,5}^p,\ d_{3,5}^p-d_{2,5}d_{1,5}^p\rangle.

If true, this gives the proposed equations for the variety of rank 55 subgroups containing a rank 44 subgroup that is a vector space over Fp2\mathbb{F}_{p^2}. The equality was verified for primes less than or equal to 1717.
