The powers-of-singular-moduli linear equation conjecture

About 9 years old · traced to

Let A,B,CA,B,C be rational numbers with AB≠0AB\ne 0, let x,yx,y be singular moduli, and let m,nm,n be positive integers. Assume that

Axm+Byn=C.Ax^m+By^n=C.

Powers-of-singular-moduli linear equation conjecture. Then one of the following holds: A+B=C=0A+B=C=0, x=yx=y, and m=nm=n; x,y∈Qx,y\in\mathbb Q; or x≠yx\ne y and Q(x)=Q(y)\mathbb Q(x)=\mathbb Q(y) is a number field of degree 22. The conjecture generalizes the cited classifications for linear equations in singular moduli and for products of two singular moduli by allowing positive integer exponents. The source gives no resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
