Number-field linear independence conjecture for generalized Stieltjes constants

About 9 years old · traced to

Let q>1q>1 be any positive algebraic number and let b≥3b\geq 3 be any integer. Let F\mathbb{F} be a number field such that F\mathbb{F} is linearly disjoint from the cyclotomic field Q(ζb)\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_b). The numbers

{1,γ0(q,ab):1≤a<b, (a,b)=1}\left\{1,\gamma_0\left(q,\frac{a}{b}\right):1\leq a<b,\ (a,b)=1\right\}

are φ(b)+1\varphi(b)+1 real numbers.

Number-field linear independence conjecture. The numbers

{1,γ0(q,ab):1≤a<b, (a,b)=1}\left\{1,\gamma_0\left(q,\frac{a}{b}\right):1\leq a<b,\ (a,b)=1\right\}

are linearly independent over F\mathbb{F}.

This is presented as a number-field extension of the conjecture attributed to Chatterjee and Garg. The supplied text does not state whether it has been proved or disproved.
