The coefficient congruence conjecture for Böttcher coordinates of a perturbed monomial

About 9 years old · traced to

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)=x∑k=0∞akk!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:

k≡0(modp)⟹ak≡(−1)k/p(modp),k\equiv0\pmod p\quad\Longrightarrow\quad a_k\equiv(-1)^{k/p}\pmod p, k≡−2(modp)⟹ak≡−1(modp),k\equiv-2\pmod p\quad\Longrightarrow\quad a_k\equiv-1\pmod p, k≡−1(modp)⟺ak≡0(modp),k\equiv-1\pmod p\quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad a_k\equiv0\pmod p,

with the one exception that, for p=2p=2, a1≡1(mod2)a_1\equiv1\pmod2. This conjecture is based on computations for primes 2≤p≤112\le p\le11 and 0≤k≤500\le k\le50; its general validity remains open.
