Dummit–Ford–Kisilevsky–Sands conjecture for Gauss factorials

From papers

Let GnG_n denote the Gauss factorial, and call a prime pp 1-exceptional for m=3m=3 when the corresponding exceptional congruence holds. Dummit–Ford–Kisilevsky–Sands conjecture. There are infinitely many primes p1(mod3)p\equiv 1\pmod 3 such that

Gp10(modp2).G_{p-1}\equiv 0\pmod {p^2}.

Equivalently, there are infinitely many primes p1(mod3)p\equiv 1\pmod 3 such that pp is 1-exceptional for m=3m=3. This is the specialization to K=Q(3)K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-3}) of the conjecture that, for every fixed imaginary quadratic field KK, infinitely many primes satisfy λp(K)>1\lambda_p(K)>1; its status is open.
