Christol–André conjecture on globally bounded D-finite power series
Let be D-finite. Assume that the sequence has at most geometric growth, that there exists such that , and that, in the minimal-order monic linear differential equation satisfied by , is not a pole of any coefficient . Christol–André conjecture. Then is algebraic. This conjecture proposes an arithmetic strengthening of Eisenstein's theorem: suitable integrality and growth conditions, together with a regularity condition at the origin, should force a D-finite series to be algebraic. The source presents it as open; it also mentions a variant replacing the third condition by the absence of logarithms in the local solutions at .
