Modularity conjecture for the rank-2 attractor at ϕ=33±817\phi=33\pm8\sqrt{17}

Let ϕ±=33±817\phi_{\pm}=33\pm8\sqrt{17}, let K=Q(17)K=\mathbb Q(\sqrt{17}), and let GKG_K be the absolute Galois group of KK. Let Heˊt3(Xϕ±,Q,Q)H^3_{\mathrm{\acute et}}(X_{\phi_{\pm},\overline{\mathbb Q}},\mathbb Q_{\ell}) be the associated 44-dimensional étale cohomology representation, and let ρf,\rho_{f,\ell} and ρg,\rho_{g,\ell} be the representations associated with cuspidal newforms.

Modularity conjecture at ϕ±\phi_{\pm}. The semisimplification of the representation of GKG_K is isomorphic to the restriction to GKG_K of

ρf,ρg,(1),\rho_{f,\ell}\oplus\rho_{g,\ell}(-1),

where ff and gg have weights 44 and 22, respectively, for Γ1(34)\Gamma_1(34), character (17)\left(\frac{17}{\cdot}\right), and are labelled 34.4.b.a\mathbf{34.4.b.a} and 34.2.b.a\mathbf{34.2.b.a} in the LMFDB.

This is another numerical modularity prediction obtained from Frobenius factorisations in the one-parameter Calabi–Yau family. The source does not provide a proof or a resolution.
