General-level degree formula for supersingular polynomials

From papers

Let p5p\geq5 be prime, let NS{2}N\in\mathfrak{S}\setminus\{2\}, and assume NpN\neq p. Then

General-level degree formula conjecture.

degssp(N)(X)=(N+1)(p1)24+18(1+(1N))(1(1p))\deg ss^{(N*)}_{p}(X)=\frac{(N+1)(p-1)}{24}+\frac18\left(1+\left(\frac{-1}{N}\right)\right)\left(1-\left(\frac{-1}{p}\right)\right) +16(1+(3N))(1(3p))+12(1(Np))degssN(X).+\frac16\left(1+\left(\frac{-3}{N}\right)\right)\left(1-\left(\frac{-3}{p}\right)\right)+\frac12\left(1-\left(\frac{-N}{p}\right)\right)\deg ss_{N}(X).

This predicts the degree from elementary residue symbols, the prime-level supersingular degree, and the level-NN supersingular polynomial. The source gives no resolution evidence.
