Strengthened 22-adic Zeros Conjecture for the continued-fraction denominators of ee

About 19 years old · traced to

Let Z2\mathbb{Z}_2 be the 22-adic integers, let Q~i:Z2→Z2\widetilde{Q}_i:\mathbb{Z}_2\to\mathbb{Z}_2 be the continuous extensions of Qi(n)=Q(3n+i)Q_i(n)=Q(3n+i), and let ckc_k be the unique zero of A(n)A(n) modulo 2k2^k, with cc their 22-adic limit. Strengthened Zeros Conjecture. For all n∈Z2n\in\mathbb{Z}_2 and k≥1k\geq 1,

∣Q~0(n)∣2≥∣4n(n+2)∣2,|\widetilde{Q}_0(n)|_2\geq |4n(n+2)|_2, ∣Q~1(n)∣2≥∣2(n+1)∣2,|\widetilde{Q}_1(n)|_2\geq |2(n+1)|_2, ∣Q~2(n)∣2=1,|\widetilde{Q}_2(n)|_2=1,

and

∣c−ck∣2≥2−2k.|c-c_k|_2\geq 2^{-2k}.

This is stated conditionally on the Period Conjecture and is described as a slightly stronger replacement for the original Zeros Conjecture. The supplied text gives no resolution.
