Nesterenko's CM-point conjecture for modular values

Let τH\tau\in\mathbb{H}. The numbers

τ,e2πiτ,E2(τ),E4(τ),E6(τ)\tau,\quad e^{2\pi i\tau},\quad E_2(\tau),\quad E_4(\tau),\quad E_6(\tau)

are considered, where E2E_2, E4E_4, and E6E_6 denote the usual Eisenstein series. Nesterenko's conjecture. If at most three of these five numbers are algebraically independent, then τ\tau is necessarily a CM point, meaning that it generates a quadratic extension over Q\mathbb{Q}. This conjecture would imply both Nesterenko's theorem and Schneider's theorem on algebraic values of the jj-function; its resolution status is not specified in the source.
