Low-lying zeros conjecture for cubic twists of an elliptic curve over a function field

Let FN(B)\boldsymbol{\mathcal{F}_{N}(B)} denote the family over which the average is taken, and let E~\widetilde{E} be an elliptic curve over Fq(T)\mathbb{F}_q(T) given by the minimal Weierstrass equation y2=x3+By^2=x^3+B, with B\formathbbFq[T]B\formathbb{F}_q[T]. For nZ1n\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq1}, write η2(n)\eta_2(n) and η3(n)\eta_3(n) for the divisibility indicators appearing in the formula, and let ΘE~D\Theta_{\widetilde{E}_D}, ΘE~\Theta_{\widetilde{E}}, and Θsym3E~\Theta_{\operatorname{sym}^3\widetilde{E}} denote the corresponding Frobenius conjugacy classes. Then D~(n)\widetilde{\mathcal{D}}(n) is a prime sum over degrees dividing nn and satisfies the stated bound.

Low-lying zeros conjecture. For every nZ1n\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq1},

Tr(ΘE~Dn)FN(B)=η2(n)+η3(n)qn/3(Tr(Θsym3E~n/3)+12Tr(ΘE~n/3))+D~(n)qn/2(1+o(1)).\left\langle\operatorname{Tr}(\Theta^n_{\widetilde{E}_D})\right\rangle_{\mathcal{F}_{N}(B)}=\eta_2(n)+\frac{\eta_3(n)}{q^{n/3}}\left(\operatorname{Tr}\left(\Theta^{n/3}_{\operatorname{sym}^3\widetilde{E}}\right)+\frac{1}{2}\operatorname{Tr}\left(\Theta^{n/3}_{\widetilde{E}}\right)\right)+\frac{\widetilde{\mathcal{D}}(n)}{q^{n/2}}(1+o(1)).

Here D~(n)\widetilde{\mathcal{D}}(n) is bounded by qn/8q^{n/8}, although it may be considerably smaller. This is a heuristic conjecture arising from the expected cubic contribution to the one-level density and relating it to the Frobenius of the symmetric-cube LL-function; the source does not provide a resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
