Congruence conjecture for coefficients of classical modular polynomials

Let ellell be a prime, let am,na_{m,n} be the coefficient of the classical modular polynomial Φell(X,Y)\Phi_ell(X,Y), and suppose ell+1>m+nell+1>m+n. Define

c:=ell+1mn.c:=ell+1-m-n.

Congruence conjecture. The following divisibilities hold: if ell2ell\ne 2, then am,n0(mod215c)a_{m,n}\equiv 0\pmod{2^{15c}}; if ell3ell\ne 3, then am,n0(mod33c)a_{m,n}\equiv 0\pmod{3^{3c}}, and if additionally ell1(mod3)ell\equiv 1\pmod 3, then am,n0(mod39c/2)a_{m,n}\equiv 0\pmod{3^{\lceil 9c/2\rceil}}; if ell5ell\ne 5, then am,n0(mod53c)a_{m,n}\equiv 0\pmod{5^{3c}}. These predicted congruences motivate the study of divisibility properties of modular-polynomial coefficients; the source presents them as a conjecture and gives supporting computations, while related special cases are proved later.
