BCG conjecture
Let be a complex cubic field, let be a conductor ideal, let be a ray class group element, let be a smoothing ideal, and let be the relevant lattice. If denotes the corresponding smoothed quotient of elliptic Gamma values at a torsion point , then the conjecture asserts that depends only on the class of modulo : for every admissible torsion point and every , whenever both sides are defined.

Progress summary
A new preprint claims to prove the conjectured independence of certain values, but the broader conjecture remains open.
The BCG conjecture includes a torsion-point independence property needed for an analytic construction in explicit class field theory.
October 2026 partial proof
Teymour Gray's preprint claims that cocycle relations establish the conjectured torsion-point independence. The source explicitly does not claim the broader unit and reciprocity assertions, and the advance is unverified.
Current status (as of October 2026): The torsion-point independence assertion is claimed proved but remains unverified; the broader unit and reciprocity assertions remain open.
