Sato's conjecture for κ(qp)\kappa(qp)

For distinct prime numbers pp and qq, let Hp,qH_{p,q} be the subgroup of (Z/pZ)×(\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z})^{\times} spanned by the images of qq and 1-1 in Fp×\mathbb{F}_{p}^{\times}, and let nq(p)n_q(p) be the index of Hp,qH_{p,q} in (Z/pZ)×(\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z})^{\times}. Let κ(N)\kappa(N) denote the dimension of the cokernel of the weight-two map D2iterD_{2}^{\mathrm{iter}}. Sato's conjecture. For every prime p5p\geq5 and q{2,3}q\in\{2,3\},

κ(qp)=nq(p)1.\kappa(qp)=n_q(p)-1.

This conjecture gives an explicit formula for the weight-two obstruction at levels 2p2p and 3p3p in terms of the subgroup generated by qq and 1-1 modulo pp. The source presents it as a numerical conjecture and gives no resolution.
