The exceptional-set power conjecture for arithmetic zeta functions

From papers

Let γ\gamma be a complex number and let SγS_{\gamma} denote the set of natural numbers nn such that nγn^{\gamma} is algebraic. If γQ\gamma\notin\mathbb{Q}, then there exists BNB\in\mathbb{N} such that

Sγ={Bkk0}.S_{\gamma}=\{B^k\mid k\geq 0\}.

Exceptional-set power conjecture. If γQ\gamma\notin\mathbb{Q}, then there exists BNB\in\mathbb{N} such that

Sγ={Bkk0}.S_{\gamma}=\{B^k\mid k\geq 0\}.

This conjecture predicts that, outside the rational case, the integers whose γ\gamma-th powers are algebraic form exactly the multiplicative semigroup generated by one integer. It would in particular determine the example Slog3/log2S_{\log 3/\log 2} as {1,2,4,8,}\{1,2,4,8,\ldots\}; the paper's preceding proposition only establishes that any three elements of SγS_{\gamma} are multiplicatively dependent when γ\gamma is transcendental.
