The cubic-residue occurrence conjecture over prime-power rings

Let pp be prime, let mm be a positive integer, and write Zpm\mathbb{Z}_{p^m} for the integers modulo pmp^m. Let CRCR denote a cubic residue and let [i][i] denote the iith class in the classification of cubic residues over Zpm\mathbb{Z}_{p^m}. Cubic-residue occurrence conjecture. If p2(mod3)p \equiv 2 \pmod 3, the occurrence of CRCRs in class [i][i] of Zpm\mathbb{Z}_{p^m} is p2(i1)p^{2(i-1)}; if p1(mod3)p \equiv 1 \pmod 3, it is 3p2(i1)3p^{2(i-1)}, where

1im13+1.1\leq i \leq \left\lfloor \frac{m-1}{3} \right\rfloor+1.

The claim is based on computational data and comparison with known counting formulas; no resolution status is supplied.
