The conjecture that both bases are transcendental in the integer-power equation

About 15 years old · traced to

Let T,R∈R+T,R\in\mathbb{R}^+ satisfy TR=RT=N∈NT^R=R^T=N\in\mathbb{N} and T≠RT\neq R. Suppose N≠16N\neq 16, so that at least one of TT and RR is transcendental. Both-bases transcendence conjecture. Both TT and RR are transcendental. This strengthens the preceding proposition and corollary, which establish only that at least one of the two numbers is transcendental when N≠16N\neq 16.
