Transcendence conjecture for the real stabilization threshold of elliptic spaces

Let XX be a simply connected elliptic space, and let ppR(X;1)\frak{pp}_{\mathbb R}(X;1) denote its real stabilization threshold. Let P(s)=PXπ(s)P(s)=P_X^{\pi}(s) and Q(s)=PX(s)Q(s)=P_X(s). Transcendence conjecture for the real stabilization threshold. If XX is not homotopic to S2n+1S^{2n+1}, then

ppR(X;1)\frak{pp}_{\mathbb R}(X;1)

is a transcendental number. In particular, if ppR(X;1)\frak{pp}_{\mathbb R}(X;1) is attained at a critical point ss of the implicit function r(s)r(s), then

P(s)Q(s)P(s)Q(s)\frac{P'(s)Q(s)}{P(s)Q'(s)}

is a transcendental number. This conjecture proposes a strong arithmetic property for stabilization thresholds; the source does not provide evidence of a resolution.
