Higher-degree Erdős–Ginzburg–Ziv equality for equal parameters

Let qq be a positive integer and let tt be a parameter for which the generalized Erdős–Ginzburg–Ziv constant 4EGZ(t,q,q)44\mathsf{EGZ}({t},{q},{q})4 and the generalized Davenport constant 4D(,q)(Zq)44\mathsf{D}_{({},{q})}({\mathbb{Z}_q})4 are defined. The conjecture.

EGZ(t,q,q)=t+q2q=t+D(,q)(Zq)q.\mathsf{EGZ}({t},{q},{q})=t+q^2-q=t+\mathsf{D}_{({},{q})}({\mathbb{Z}_q})-q.

This conjecture is motivated by the preceding theorem and computational evidence; the supplied text does not state whether it has been proved or disproved.
