Algebraic values of the continued-fraction set of multiple zeta-star values

From papers

Let coverlineQcoverline{\mathbb{Q}} denote the set of algebraic numbers in cmathbbCcmathbb{C}, and let ceta(D2)ceta(\mathcal{D}_2) be the set appearing in the paper.

Algebraicity conjecture.

η(D2)Q={nnZ, n2}.\eta(\mathcal{D}_2)\cap \overline{\mathbb{Q}}=\{n\mid n\in\mathbb{Z},\ n\geq 2\}.

This conjecture predicts that the only algebraic elements of ceta(D2)ceta(\mathcal{D}_2) are the integers at least 22; it is presented as supported by extensive calculations, with no proof or resolution supplied here.
