Symmetry conjecture for three-valued Weil sums

About 8 years old · traced to

Let FF be a finite field, let dd be an invertible exponent over FF, and let WF,dW_{F,d} be three-valued. A three-valued Weil sum is called symmetric when its two nonzero values on F∗F^* are opposites of one another.

Symmetry conjecture. WF,dW_{F,d} is symmetric.

The source notes that this property is not known for all three-valued Weil sums, although all examples in its table have it.
