The Eisenstein-family overconvergence-rate conjecture

From papers

Let pp be a prime. Let bi,jZp[[q]]b_{i,j}\in\mathbb Z_p[[q]] be the modular forms associated with the Katz expansion of Eκ/V(Eκ)E^\ast_{\kappa}/V(E^\ast_{\kappa}), and let νp\nu_p denote the pp-adic valuation of their coefficients. Define

dp=p1p(p+1).d_p=\frac{p-1}{p(p+1)}.

Overconvergence-rate conjecture. For all i,j0i,j\geq 0,

νp(bi,j)dpij.\nu_p(b_{i,j})\geq d_pi-j.

Equivalently, with

δp=inf{νp(bi,j)+ji|iZ>0, jZ0},\delta_p=\inf\left\{\frac{\nu_p(b_{i,j})+j}{i}\mathrel{\middle|}i\in\mathbb Z_{>0},\ j\in\mathbb Z_{\geq 0}\right\},

this predicts δpp1p(p+1)\delta_p\geq\frac{p-1}{p(p+1)}. The conjecture does not assert equality; computations for low primes find values of ii and jj attaining dpd_p, in which case it would imply δp=dp\delta_p=d_p.
