Algebraic independence of distinct-prime valuation generating functions at independent points
Algebraic independence of distinct-prime valuation generating functions at independent points
Let denote the valuation generating function associated with a prime . Let be distinct primes, and let be non-zero algebraic numbers with for all , and assume that are multiplicatively independent. Independent-point algebraic independence conjecture. The values
are algebraically independent over . This conjecture concerns simultaneous algebraic independence across distinct primes and multiplicatively independent algebraic evaluation points; the source states that its proof remains beyond current techniques.
