The coefficient congruence conjecture for Böttcher coordinates of a perturbed monomial

Let pp be a prime and let

φ(x)=xp2+p2xp2+1.\varphi(x)=x^{p^2}+p^2x^{p^2+1}.

Write the Böttcher coordinate of φ\varphi as

fφ(x)=xk=0akk!xk,f_\varphi(x)=x\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{a_k}{k!}x^k,

where the coefficients aka_k are integers. Coefficient congruence conjecture. The following congruences hold:

k0(modp)ak(1)k/p(modp),k\equiv0\pmod p\quad\Longrightarrow\quad a_k\equiv(-1)^{k/p}\pmod p, k2(modp)ak1(modp),k\equiv-2\pmod p\quad\Longrightarrow\quad a_k\equiv-1\pmod p, k1(modp)ak0(modp),k\equiv-1\pmod p\quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad a_k\equiv0\pmod p,

with the one exception that, for p=2p=2, a11(mod2)a_1\equiv1\pmod2. This conjecture is based on computations for primes 2p112\le p\le11 and 0k500\le k\le50; its general validity remains open.
