The divergence conjecture for the shortened qx+1 map

About 2 years old · traced to

Let qq be an odd prime, and let χq:Z2→Z\chi_q:\mathbb{Z}_2\to\mathbb{Z} denote the numen of the shortened qx+1qx+1 map. Divergence conjecture for qx+1qx+1. There exists a z∈Z2∖Q\mathfrak z\in\mathbb{Z}_2\setminus\mathbb{Q} such that χq(z)∈Z\chi_q(\mathfrak z)\in\mathbb{Z} if and only if q=3q=3. The claim links integral values of the numen at irrational 2-adic inputs to the classical 3x+13x+1 case and is unresolved in the source.
