Thompson group characterization for class 3C supersingular polynomials

About 8 years old · traced to

Let ThTh be the Thompson sporadic simple group, and let ssp(3C)(X)ss_{p}^{(3C)}(X) be the class-3C supersingular polynomial with L(3C)(p)L^{(3C)}(p) linear-factor count.

Thompson-group conjecture. For every prime pp,

deg⁡ssp(3C)(X)=L(3C)(p)  ⟺  p∣#Th.\deg ss_{p}^{(3C)}(X)=L^{(3C)}(p)\iff p\mid\#Th.

The conjecture characterizes the primes for which the class-3C supersingular polynomial splits completely into linear factors using the prime divisors of the Thompson group order. The source gives no resolution evidence.
