Parker's conjectural coordinator polynomial for cyclotomic lattices of order twice a prime

From papers

Let pp be an odd prime, let ζ2p=e2πi/(2p)\zeta_{2p}=e^{2\pi i/(2p)}, and let h2p(x)h_{2p}(x) be the coordinator polynomial of Z[ζ2p]\mathbb Z[\zeta_{2p}] with respect to the set of all 2p2pth roots of unity. Parker's conjecture. The coordinator polynomial is

h2p(x)=k=0p32(xk+xp1k)j=0k(pj)+xp12j=0p12(pj)h_{2p}(x)=\sum_{k=0}^{\frac{p-3}{2}}\left(x^k+x^{p-1-k}\right)\sum_{j=0}^{k}\binom pj+x^{\frac{p-1}{2}}\sum_{j=0}^{\frac{p-1}{2}}\binom pj =k=0p32(xk+xp1k)j=0k(pj)+2p1xp12.=\sum_{k=0}^{\frac{p-3}{2}}\left(x^k+x^{p-1-k}\right)\sum_{j=0}^{k}\binom pj+2^{p-1}x^{\frac{p-1}{2}}.

The paper proves this conjecture by computing the relevant cyclotomic polytope data.
