D--Kakde's Matrix Coefficient Conjecture

About 3 years old · traced to

Let L={x∈C:ex∈Q‾}\mathscr L=\{x\in\mathbf C:e^x\in\overline{\mathbf Q}\} and let Lp\mathscr L_p be the Q\mathbf Q-vector space of pp-adic logarithms of algebraic numbers. Let MM be a square matrix of dimension nn with coefficients in either L\mathscr L or Lp\mathscr L_p.

D--Kakde's Matrix Coefficient Conjecture. If det⁡(M)=0\det(M)=0, then there exist nonzero vectors w,v∈Qnw,v\in\mathbf Q^n such that

wtMv=0.w^tMv=0.

This conjecture asks for a rational vanishing matrix coefficient whenever a square logarithmic matrix is singular. The source states that it is equivalent to the Four Exponentials Conjecture when n=2n=2, is implied by the Structural Rank Conjecture, and in its pp-adic form implies Leopoldt's and Gross--Kuz'min's conjectures.
