Modulo-p3p^3 conjecture for products of truncated hypergeometric series

From papers

Let dd satisfy the hypotheses in Theorem main\mathrm{main}, put b=(12,1d,d1d){\bf b}=(\frac12,\frac{1}{d},\frac{d-1}{d}), and let E~d((11λ)/2)\widetilde{E}_d((1-\sqrt{1-\lambda})/2) be the associated elliptic curve. Let [G]p1(λ)[G]_{p-1}(\lambda) denote truncation at degree p1p-1, and let upu_p be the unit root of geometric Frobenius at pp acting on the first cohomology of this elliptic curve. The constants are k2=k6=1k_2=k_6=-1, k3=3k_3=-3, and k4=2k_4=-2.

Product supercongruence conjecture. For primes p5p\geq 5,

[F0,bF2αN,b]p1(λ){0if E~d(11λ2) is supersingular at p,up2pif E~d(11λ2) is ordinary at p and (1λp)=1,(kdp)up2pif E~d(11λ2) is ordinary at p and (1λp)=1(modp3).[F_{0,{\bf b}}\cdot F_{2\alpha_N,{\bf b}}]_{p-1}(\lambda)\equiv \begin{cases} 0 & \text{if }\widetilde{E}_d\left(\frac{1-\sqrt{1-\lambda}}{2}\right)\text{ is supersingular at }p,\\ u_p^2p & \text{if }\widetilde{E}_d\left(\frac{1-\sqrt{1-\lambda}}{2}\right)\text{ is ordinary at }p\text{ and }\left(\frac{1-\lambda}{p}\right)=1,\\ -\left(\frac{k_d}{p}\right)u_p^2p & \text{if }\widetilde{E}_d\left(\frac{1-\sqrt{1-\lambda}}{2}\right)\text{ is ordinary at }p\text{ and }\left(\frac{1-\lambda}{p}\right)=-1 \end{cases} \pmod{p^3}.

The paper states that this conjecture is verified in the cases arising from two displayed examples using Beukers's theorem; the general assertion is therefore not established by the supplied text.
