Winkelmann's upper-half-plane formulation of the isogeny criterion

About 24 years old · traced to

Let H+H^+ be the upper half-plane, and define

B+(Q)={(ab0a−1):a∈Q+, b∈Q}.B^+(\mathbb Q)=\left\{\begin{pmatrix}a&b\\0&a^{-1}\end{pmatrix}:a\in\mathbb Q^+,\ b\in\mathbb Q\right\}.

The groups GL2+(Q)GL_2^+(\mathbb Q) and B+(Q)B^+(\mathbb Q) act on H+H^+ by fractional linear transformations. Winkelmann's upper-half-plane conjecture. If σ,τ∈H+\sigma,\tau\in H^+ lie in the same GL2+(Q)GL_2^+(\mathbb Q)-orbit and both e2πiσe^{2\pi i\sigma} and e2πiτe^{2\pi i\tau} are algebraic, then σ\sigma and τ\tau lie in the same B+(Q)B^+(\mathbb Q)-orbit. The source presents this as an equivalent reformulation of the preceding isogeny criterion and proves the equivalent conjectures assuming Schanuel's conjecture.
