The third and fourth largest coset leader conjecture for odd-characteristic BCH codes

Let qq be an odd prime power and let n=qm+1n=q^m+1, with the quantities δ3\delta_3 and δ4\delta_4 defined as in the preceding cases for even mm. Third and fourth largest coset leader conjecture. If δ3\delta_3 and δ4\delta_4 are given as above, then δ3\delta_3 and δ4\delta_4 are the third and fourth largest coset leaders, respectively. These formulas are conjectured to hold uniformly based on the Magma computations described in the paper; the statement concerns the ordering of the largest qq-cyclotomic coset leaders relevant to BCH codes, and no proof or resolution is supplied here.
