Christol–André conjecture for globally bounded D-finite power series
Christol–André conjecture for globally bounded D-finite power series
Let be a globally bounded and D-finite power series, and let denote its minimal annihilating differential operator. Christol–André conjecture. The following assertions should hold: (1) is the diagonal of a rational function; (2) if is an ordinary point for , then is algebraic; and (3) if the monodromy of at is semisimple, equivalently if is not a logarithmic singularity of , then is algebraic. These conjectures would give structural and effective algebraicity criteria for globally bounded D-finite series. The first assertion is the diagonal conjecture, while the latter two provide algebraicity under additional local hypotheses.
