The maximum-density conjecture for \operatorname{PSL}_2qq on the Kneser graph Kq+1,3q+1,3

From papers

Let qq be a prime power with q3(mod4)q\equiv 3\pmod{4}, and consider the Kneser graph K(q+1,3)K(q+1,3) and its automorphism group. Maximum-density conjecture. The group PSL2(q)\operatorname{PSL}_2(q) gives the maximum intersection density among all subgroups of the automorphism group of K(q+1,3)K(q+1,3). Moreover, if q21(mod5)q^2\equiv 1\pmod{5}, then the intersection density of K(q+1,3)K(q+1,3) is 4/34/3, while if q24(mod5)q^2\equiv 4\pmod{5}, it is 11. The claim would identify both an extremal group and the resulting density in the two congruence cases.
