The point-count conjecture for the quotients of V_{32} by α_1 and α_2

Let V32V_{32} be the double cover considered in the paper, and let α1\alpha_1 and α2\alpha_2 be the two involutions acting on it. Write [V32/αi]p[V_{32}/\alpha_i]_p for the number of points of the quotient over Fp\mathbb F_p, and let aj,pa_{j,p} denote the relevant Hecke eigenvalues in weights j=2,4,6j=2,4,6. Point-count conjecture for the αi\alpha_i-quotients. For every prime p>2p>2, one has

[V32/α1]p=i=05pia6,pp2a2,p[V_{32}/\alpha_1]_p=\sum_{i=0}^5p^i-a_{6,p}-p^2a_{2,p}

and

[V32/α2]p=i=05pia6,ppa4,p.[V_{32}/\alpha_2]_p=\sum_{i=0}^5p^i-a_{6,p}-pa_{4,p}.

The formulas are motivated by point counts and the predicted decomposition of the cohomology; the supplied passage gives no proof for all primes.
