Schanuel Property for Elliptic and Quasi--Elliptic Functions

For almost all tuples $(x_1,\dots,x_n)$ of complex numbers, a strong version of Schanuel's Conjecture is true: the $2n$ numbers $x_1,\dots,x_n, {\mathrm e}^{x_1},\dots, {\mathrm e}^{x_n}$ are algebraically independent. Similar statements hold when one replaces the exponential function ${\mathrm e}^z$ with algebraically independent functions. We give examples involving elliptic and quasi--elliptic functions, that we prove to be algebraically independent: $z$, $\wp(z)$, $ζ(z)$, $σ(z)$, exponential functions, and Serre functions related with integrals of the third kind.

Abstract

For almost all tuples $(x_1,\dots,x_n)$ of complex numbers, a strong version of Schanuel's Conjecture is true: the $2n$ numbers $x_1,\dots,x_n, {\mathrm e}^{x_1},\dots, {\mathrm e}^{x_n}$ are algebraically independent. Similar statements hold when one replaces the exponential function ${\mathrm e}^z$ with algebraically independent functions. We give examples involving elliptic and quasi--elliptic functions, that we prove to be algebraically independent: $z$, $\wp(z)$, $ζ(z)$, $σ(z)$, exponential functions, and Serre functions related with integrals of the third kind.
