The uniform non-modularity conjecture for the Hurwitz-space construction

About 20 years old · traced to

Let pp be a prime and let H(F~2,2/Φ1×sJ3,C±32)abs,rd\mathcal H(\widetilde F_{2,2}/\Phi^1\times^s J_3,\mathbf C_{\pm3^2})^{\mathrm{abs},\mathrm{rd}} be the absolute reduced Hurwitz space in the indicated level-zero construction. The conclusion of the cited proposition is that this space embeds in Pj1×Pj1\mathbb P^1_j\times\mathbb P^1_j but is not a modular curve.

Uniform non-modularity conjecture. The same conclusion holds for every p≠3p\neq 3.

The assertion extends the level-zero non-modularity result from p=3p=3 to all other primes in the construction. The source gives no evidence of resolution in the excerpt.
