Conjecture on the transcendence of Euler's constant

At least 20 years old · documented by

Define Euler's constant by

γ=lim⁡n→∞(1+12+13+⋯+1n−log⁡n).\gamma=\lim_{n\to\infty}\left(1+\frac12+\frac13+\cdots+\frac1n-\log n\right).

Transcendence conjecture for Euler's constant. The number γ\gamma is transcendental. The source notes that even irrationality of γ\gamma is not known, so this stronger conjecture remains open.
