The weak separation conjecture for left-listable and left-Diophantine numbers

About 6 years old · traced to

A real number α\alpha is left-listable if L(α)={q∈Q:q<α}L(\alpha)=\{q\in\mathbb{Q}:q<\alpha\} is listable. Let D\mathscr{D} be the set of left-Diophantine numbers and let Λ\Lambda be the set of left-listable numbers. Weak separation conjecture. Not every left-listable number is left-Diophantine; equivalently, D≠Λ\mathscr{D}\ne\Lambda. This is weaker than the algebraicity conjecture and would already imply that Z\mathbb{Z} is not Diophantine in Q\mathbb{Q}, that Q\mathbb{Q} does not have the DPRM property, and that Q\mathbb{Q} and N\mathbb{N} are not positive existentially bi-interpretable.
