General-level degree formula for supersingular polynomials

About 8 years old · traced to

Let p≥5p\geq5 be prime, let N∈S∖{2}N\in\mathfrak{S}\setminus\{2\}, and assume N≠pN\neq p. Then

General-level degree formula conjecture.

deg⁡ssp(N∗)(X)=(N+1)(p−1)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))deg⁡ssN(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.
