Matrix-form conjecture on solvability of the systems associated with AA

Let r=s+pt(p1)dr=s+p^t(p-1)d, with pmiddp mid d, s=b+c(p1)s=b+c(p-1), and suppose that 2leqbleqp2leq bleq p, 1leqcleqp11leq cleq p-1, and tgeq2tgeq 2. Let

A=(α(i,l))1im+10lm,A=\left(\alpha(i,l)\right)_{\substack{1\leq i\leq m+1\\0\leq l\leq m}},

where the coefficients α(i,l)\alpha(i,l) are those defined in the source. Suppose also that 1mc1ϵ1\leq m\leq c-1-\epsilon. Matrix-form conjecture. The linear systems AX=ei(modp)AX=e_i\pmod p have a solution for every 1im1\leq i\leq m. This conjecture is motivated by SageMath computations and is used to deduce vanishing statements for the monomials q(j)q(j) in the relevant quotient of the representation space; its status is not resolved in the supplied text.
