Class-number formula for the number of linear factors at general levels

At least 7 years old · documented by

Let p≥5p\geq5 be prime, let N∈S∖{2}N\in\mathfrak{S}\setminus\{2\}, and assume N≠pN\neq p. Let L(N∗)(p)L^{(N*)}(p) be the number of linear factors of ssp(N∗)(X)ss_{p}^{(N*)}(X), L(p)L(p) the level-1 quantity, and h(−Np)h(\sqrt{-Np}) the class number appearing in the source. The Kronecker symbol (⋅Np)\left(\frac{\cdot}{Np}\right) is the product of the corresponding Legendre symbols.

General-level linear-factor formula conjecture.

L(N∗)(p)=12(1+(−pN))L(p)+18{2+(1−(−1Np))(2+(−2Np))}h(−Np).L^{(N*)}(p)=\frac12\left(1+\left(\frac{-p}{N}\right)\right)L(p)+\frac18\left\{2+\left(1-\left(\frac{-1}{Np}\right)\right)\left(2+\left(\frac{-2}{Np}\right)\right)\right\}h(\sqrt{-Np}).

This conjecturally expresses the number of linear factors through the level-1 count and an imaginary quadratic class number. The source gives no resolution evidence.
