Strong Ramanujan bound for traces of Hecke operators on Drinfeld cusp forms

Let A=Fq[T]A=\mathbb{F}_q[T], let pA\mathfrak p\trianglelefteq A be a maximal ideal of degree dd, and let n1n\geq 1. For integers k,lk,l, write Tp\mathbf{T}_{\mathfrak p} for the corresponding Hecke operator on the Drinfeld cusp-form space Sk,l\mathrm{S}_{k,l}. Strong Ramanujan bound. One has

degTr(TpnSk,l)nd(k(q+1))2.\deg \operatorname{Tr}\left(\mathbf{T}_{\mathfrak p}^n\mid\operatorname{S}_{k,l}\right)\leq \frac{nd\left(k-(q+1)\right)}{2}.

This is presented as a strong form of the Ramanujan bound for Drinfeld modular forms. The source gives no resolution status, so the assertion remains open in this database.
