Borel's normality conjecture for algebraic irrational numbers

Let xx be a real irrational algebraic number and let g2g\geqslant2 be a positive integer. A real number is normal in base gg if it is simply normal in base gmg^m for every m1m\geqslant1, equivalently, every sequence of mm digits occurs with frequency 1/gm1/g^m in its gg-ary expansion. Borel's conjecture. The number xx is normal in base gg. Borel's conjecture is a central open problem concerning the digit distribution of algebraic irrational numbers; the source presents it as Borel's 1950 suggestion.
