Lang–Rohrlich conjecture for algebraic values of the Gamma function
Lang–Rohrlich conjecture for algebraic values of the Gamma function
Let be an algebraic number, and let denote the Gamma function.
Lang–Rohrlich conjecture. The value is algebraic if and only if
Since for positive integers , the conjecture says that the positive integers are exactly the algebraic arguments at which the Gamma function takes algebraic values. The source notes that the transcendence of remains open, while the cases and are known to be transcendental.
