Finite generation conjecture for the module Mζ\mathscr{M}_{\zeta}

Let SS be the set of algebraic numbers under consideration, let c13Sc13\in S, and let c13Mζc13\mathscr{M}_{\zeta} be the associated set or module. Write c13Z[ζ,ζ1]c13\mathbb{Z}[\zeta,\zeta^{-1}] for the Laurent polynomial ring generated by c13ζc13\zeta. Let c13Δ(Pζ)c13\Delta(P_{\zeta}) denote the discriminant appearing in the definition of the fractional overring notation c13c13\mathopen{\prec}\cdot\mathclose{\succ}.

Finite generation conjecture. For every c13ζSc13\zeta\in S, the set c13Mζc13\mathscr{M}_{\zeta} is finitely generated as a c13Z[ζ,ζ1]c13\mathbb{Z}[\zeta,\zeta^{-1}]-module. More generally,

MζZ[ζ,ζ1]1/Δ(Pζ).\mathscr{M}_{\zeta}\subset \mathbb{Z}[\zeta,\zeta^{-1}]\mathopen{\prec}1/\Delta(P_{\zeta})\mathclose{\succ}.

The assertion concerns the proposed module structure of c13Mζc13\mathscr{M}_{\zeta}; the surrounding discussion notes that the Laurent polynomial ring is Noetherian, so the displayed containment would imply finite generation. The supplied text does not establish the conjecture or provide evidence of its resolution.
