Generalized nonintegrality conjecture for multiple reciprocal sums of polynomials
Generalized nonintegrality conjecture for multiple reciprocal sums of polynomials
Let be a nonzero polynomial of integer coefficients. Let , let be arranged in increasing order, and define
Let be an infinite sequence of positive integers, and write . Generalized nonintegrality conjecture. There is a positive integer such that for every integer and every integer with , neither nor is an integer. The sequence need not be increasing or have distinct terms. This conjecture generalizes Conjecture 3.1 of the cited work and extends the expected eventual nonintegrality of multiple reciprocal sums and star sums to arbitrary nonzero integer polynomials, including polynomials with integer roots.
