Algebraic independence of logarithms of distinct primes
Algebraic independence of logarithms of distinct primes
Let and let be distinct primes. The field of rational functions in is evaluated at by the homomorphism
Algebraic-independence conjecture. The numbers are algebraically independent. Equivalently, is an isomorphism.
The conjecture is presented as a consequence of Schanuel's conjecture: unique factorization gives rational independence of the logarithms, and Schanuel's conjecture would then imply the asserted transcendence degree. Its unconditional status is not established in the supplied text.
