Nonvanishing Jacobian-minor conjecture for generalized constants

Let nZ2n\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq2} be fixed. For each m{2,3,,n}m\in\{2,3,\ldots,n\} and each θ(Gm(U){γ})\theta\in\left(\mathcal{G}_{m}^{\left(\operatorname{U}\right)}\cup\{\gamma\}\right), let Jm,θ(n)\mathbf{J}_{m,\theta}^{\left(n\right)} be the Jacobian matrix defined in Lemma 5, and let γ\boldsymbol{\gamma^{*}} denote the specified specialization of the generalized constants. Nonvanishing Jacobian-minor conjecture.

det(Jm,θ(n)γ)0\det\left(\left.\mathbf{J}_{m,\theta}^{\left(n\right)}\right|_{\gamma^{*}}\right)\neq0

for all m{2,3,,n}m\in\{2,3,\ldots,n\} and θ(Gm(U){γ})\theta\in\left(\mathcal{G}_{m}^{\left(\operatorname{U}\right)}\cup\{\gamma\}\right). The conjecture has been verified computationally for n{2,3,,26}n\in\{2,3,\ldots,26\} and is intended to support lower bounds on the density of transcendental terms in the generalized-constant sequences; its validity for all n2n\geq2 remains open.
