The pp-adic Schanuel conjecture

Suppose z1,,znDpCpz_1,\ldots,z_n\in\mathbb{D}_p\subset\mathbb{C}_p are Q\mathbb{Q}-linearly independent, where Dp\mathbb{D}_p is the domain of the pp-adic exponential function. Define tr.deg.Q\operatorname{tr.deg.}_\mathbb{Q} to be transcendence degree over Q\mathbb{Q}. pp-adic Schanuel conjecture.

tr.deg.QQ(z1,,zn,exp(z1),,exp(zn))n.\operatorname{tr.deg.}_\mathbb{Q} \mathbb{Q}(z_1,\ldots,z_n,\exp(z_1),\ldots,\exp(z_n))\geq n.

This is the pp-adic analogue of Schanuel's classical conjecture and concerns algebraic independence of pp-adic exponentials. The source gives no resolution, so the conjecture is recorded as open.
