Kim–Lim–Lovejoy odd-balanced unimodal sequence congruence conjecture

From papers

Let v(n)v(n) count odd-balanced unimodal sequences of size 2n+22n+2, and let v(m,n)v(m,n) count those with rank mm. Let ≢1(mod8)\ell\not\equiv-1\pmod8 be prime and let kk be a positive integer satisfying

8k+7.\ell\mid\mid 8k+7.

If (8k+7)/(8k+7)/\ell is a quadratic residue modulo \ell, then Kim–Lim–Lovejoy's conjecture.

v(2n+k)0(mod4).v(\ell^2n+k)\equiv0\pmod4.

The same congruences were conjectured for the coefficients of V(±i,q)\mathcal V(\pm i,q). The stated version is false: the paper gives =17\ell=17, k=99k=99 as a counterexample, so primes congruent to 11 modulo 88 must be excluded. A corrected version is proved later in the paper.
