The point-count conjecture for the double cover Q_2

Let Q2Q_2 be the double cover considered in the paper, and let [Q2]p[Q_2]_p denote its number of points over Fp\mathbb F_p. Let bpb_p be the Hecke eigenvalue of the newform of weight 44 and level 88. Point-count conjecture for Q2Q_2. For every odd prime pp, one has

[Q2]p=i=05pipbp.[Q_2]_p=\sum_{i=0}^5p^i-pb_p.

The formula is established computationally in the supplied context for odd primes p<20p<20 and is conjectured for all odd primes.
