Capuano–Veneziano–Zannier conjecture on Ruban continued fractions

Let α(p)\alpha^{(p)} be a p-adic quadratic irrational, and consider its Ruban continued fraction. Capuano–Veneziano–Zannier conjecture. The Ruban continued fraction of a quadratic irrational is either periodic or converges in R\mathbb{R} to a transcendental number. Capuano, Veneziano and Zannier proved that Ruban continued fractions of p-adic quadratic irrationals always converge in R\mathbb{R}; the conjecture concerns the nature of the limit in the non-periodic case and remains open.
