The upper-bound conjecture for reduced Weierstrass curves over prime-power rings

From papers

Let pp be an odd prime and let mm be a positive integer with gcd(pm,6)=1\gcd(p^m,6)=1. Let Δi(pm)\Delta^i(p^m) denote the number of solutions to Δi(modpm)\Delta \equiv i \pmod {p^m}, and let NR(Zpm)N_R(\mathbb{Z}_{p^m}) be the number of nonsingular reduced Weierstrass elliptic curves over Zpm\mathbb{Z}_{p^m}. Reduced Weierstrass upper-bound conjecture. The upper bound NR(Zpm)N”_R(\mathbb{Z}_{p^m}) is

NR(Zpm)=p2mΔ0(pm)NR(Zpm).N”_R(\mathbb{Z}_{p^m})=p^{2m}-\Delta^0(p^m)\geq N_R(\mathbb{Z}_{p^m}).

The claim is presented as a computationally supported bound; no resolution status is supplied.
