Transcendence conjecture for the Stirling-Ramanujan constants

About 2 years old · traced to

Let SnS_n, n≥0n\geq 0, denote the Stirling-Ramanujan constants, with S0S_0 the Stirling constant, and let γ=S−1\gamma=S_{-1} be the Euler–Mascheroni constant. The Glaisher–Kinkelin constant is A=eS1A=e^{S_1}.

Stirling-Ramanujan transcendence conjecture. The Stirling-Ramanujan constants are transcendental.

The arithmetic nature of these constants is unknown; the conjecture encompasses the classical Euler–Mascheroni, Stirling, and Glaisher–Kinkelin constants as well as the higher constants.
