The zeta-function conjecture

From papers

Let Ω\Omega be a lattice in C\mathbb{C} with algebraic invariants g2,g3g_2,g_3. Let pCΩp\in\mathbb{C}\smallsetminus\Omega with algebraic ζ(p)\zeta(p), and let α\alpha be an algebraic number satisfying the stated exclusions. Zeta-function conjecture. If α0,1,1\alpha\ne0,1,-1, α41\alpha^4\ne1 when g3=0g_3=0, and α61\alpha^6\ne1 when g2=0g_2=0, then αpΩ\alpha p\notin\Omega and ζ(αp)\zeta(\alpha p) is transcendental. This is proposed as an analogue of Schneider's corollary for the Weierstrass zeta function; the exclusions remove the exceptional elliptic-curve automorphisms. The source gives no resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
