D4 inflectionary curve genus conjecture

Let n=2n=2\ell, assume that char(F)\operatorname{char}(F) is zero or sufficiently positive, and let Cm\mathcal{C}_m be the mm-th inflectionary curve from yn=x5+x3+sxy^n=x^5+x^3+sx. D4 genus conjecture. The geometric genus of Cm\mathcal{C}_m is 00 for m=3m=3 and m22m+1\left\lceil\frac{m^2}{2}-m+1\right\rceil for every m4m\geq4. Together with the predicted singularity and Newton polygon data, this gives the expected genus in every degree; the supplied text does not prove the formula.
