One half of a split of DiazModulus.diaz_of_exp_not_real_irrational_angle_period_aligned. The sibling is DiazModulus.diaz_of_exp_not_real_irrational_angle_period_aligned_norm_free; the two extra hypotheses are literally complementary, so the reduction to the parent is a by_cases and carries no mathematical content.

Setting. Write θ=ℑu\theta=\Im uθ=ℑu, t=ℜut=\Re ut=ℜu, A=∥u∥2A=\lVert u\rVert^{2}A=∥u∥2. The parent's aligned hypothesis gives a rational r≠0r\neq0r=0 with β:=π(θ+rπ)∈Q‾\beta:=\pi(\theta+r\pi)\in\overline{\mathbb Q}β:=π(θ+rπ)∈Q​; rrr is unique and β≠0\beta\neq0β=0, because θ∉πQ\theta\notin\pi\mathbb Qθ∈/πQ and π2\pi^{2}π2 is transcendental. So θ=β/π−rπ\theta=\beta/\pi-r\piθ=β/π−rπ and ν:=i(θ+rπ)=iβ/π≠0\nu:=i(\theta+r\pi)=i\beta/\pi\neq0ν:=i(θ+rπ)=iβ/π=0.

The split predicate is A∈Q⋅βA\in\mathbb Q\cdot\betaA∈Q⋅β.

Why this is the right cut. Under a counterexample α=eu∈Q‾\alpha=e^{u}\in\overline{\mathbb Q}α=eu∈Q​ the four numbers

u,ν,c⋅2πi (c∈Q×),uˉu,\qquad \nu,\qquad c\cdot 2\pi i\ (c\in\mathbb Q^{\times}),\qquad \bar uu,ν,c⋅2πi (c∈Q×),uˉ

all lie in L\mathcal LL (euˉ=αˉe^{\bar u}=\bar\alphaeuˉ=αˉ; e2πi=1e^{2\pi i}=1e2πi=1; and e2dν=(α/αˉ)de^{2d\nu}=(\alpha/\bar\alpha)^{d}e2dν=(α/αˉ)d for ddd the denominator of rrr, so ν∈L\nu\in\mathcal Lν∈L because L\mathcal LL is a Q\mathbb QQ-vector space). Form

M=(uνc 2πiuˉ),det⁡M=uuˉ−c ν⋅2πi=A+2cβ.M=\begin{pmatrix}u&\nu\\ c\,2\pi i&\bar u\end{pmatrix},\qquad \det M=u\bar u-c\,\nu\cdot 2\pi i=A+2c\beta .M=(uc2πi​νuˉ​),detM=uuˉ−cν⋅2πi=A+2cβ.

On this half choose c=−A/(2β)∈Q×c=-A/(2\beta)\in\mathbb Q^{\times}c=−A/(2β)∈Q×, so det⁡M=0\det M=0detM=0. The rows are Q\mathbb QQ-independent because ℜu≠0\Re u\neq0ℜu=0; the columns are Q\mathbb QQ-independent because ℜu≠0\Re u\neq0ℜu=0 and ν≠0\nu\neq0ν=0 — and those two facts are exactly the parent's hypotheses ℜu≠0\Re u\neq0ℜu=0 and θ∉πQ\theta\notin\pi\mathbb Qθ∈/πQ. So this half follows from the four exponentials conjecture (determinant form: a 2×22\times22×2 matrix over L\mathcal LL with Q\mathbb QQ-independent rows and columns has non-zero determinant).

That is a real gain: DiazModulus.recip_pi_log_of_period_aligned reduces the whole aligned leaf to a statement needing the strong four exponentials conjecture, and 4EC4EC4EC is strictly weaker than SFECSFECSFEC.

And here the configuration is in the regime where 4EC4EC4EC is known. Eliminating θ=β/π−rπ\theta=\beta/\pi-r\piθ=β/π−rπ from t2+θ2=At^{2}+\theta^{2}=At2+θ2=A gives

t2π2+r2π4−(A+2rβ)π2+β2=0,t^{2}\pi^{2}+r^{2}\pi^{4}-(A+2r\beta)\pi^{2}+\beta^{2}=0,t2π2+r2π4−(A+2rβ)π2+β2=0,

a non-trivial polynomial relation over Q‾\overline{\mathbb Q}Q​ between ttt and π\piπ. Hence ttt is algebraic over Q‾(π)\overline{\mathbb Q}(\pi)Q​(π) and

trdeg⁡QQ(u,uˉ,ν,2πi)=1.\operatorname{trdeg}_{\mathbb Q}\mathbb Q(u,\bar u,\nu,2\pi i)=1 .trdegQ​Q(u,uˉ,ν,2πi)=1.

Diaz.four_exp_trdeg_one — the mission's port of Roy–Waldschmidt 1995, Theorem 1 — is precisely 4EC4EC4EC in transcendence degree ≤1\le 1≤1, and its conclusion is the row/column dichotomy refuted above. So this node should be closable from Diaz.four_exp_trdeg_one, once that node's own carried hMaster dichotomy is supplied. It is left open deliberately.

Note that the transcendence-degree-one property holds on the whole aligned class, and fails on the period-free half, where θ\thetaθ ranges over an uncountable set and trdeg⁡QQ(t,θ,π)=2\operatorname{trdeg}_{\mathbb Q}\mathbb Q(t,\theta,\pi)=2trdegQ​Q(t,θ,π)=2. That, and not the shape of the predicate, is the real content of the aligned/free split.

Witness — the honesty check. With θA=1/π−π\theta_A=1/\pi-\piθA​=1/π−π and uA=16−θA2+iθAu_A=\sqrt{16-\theta_A^{2}}+i\theta_AuA​=16−θA2​​+iθA​ one has r=1r=1r=1, β=π(θA+π)=1\beta=\pi(\theta_A+\pi)=1β=π(θA​+π)=1, A=16A=16A=16, so A=16⋅βA=16\cdot\betaA=16⋅β and uAu_AuA​ satisfies every hypothesis of this node. Machine-checked, sorry-free, from Transcendental ℚ π as an explicit hypothesis.

Hypotheses that are not load-bearing. The route above uses only ℜu≠0\Re u\neq0ℜu=0, θ∉πQ\theta\notin\pi\mathbb Qθ∈/πQ and the rational-multiple relation. u ≠ 0, ‖u‖ algebraic and (exp u).im ≠ 0 are carried only so that the two children sum to the parent. (On this branch (exp u).im ≠ 0 is in any case implied by θ∉πQ\theta\notin\pi\mathbb Qθ∈/πQ.)

Novelty. Elementary given the four exponentials literature; the only observation is which 2×22\times22×2 determinant the two certified products uuˉ∈Q‾u\bar u\in\overline{\mathbb Q}uuˉ∈Q​ and ν⋅2πi∈Q‾×\nu\cdot2\pi i\in\overline{\mathbb Q}^{\times}ν⋅2πi∈Q​× can be made to fill. Not found in the sources consulted; no literature search was performed in this run. Lean certifies correctness, not priority.


Status on the graph. This node is interior: it is Open only because its children are. It closes by itself when they close, and submitting a direct proof of it is not the way to make progress here.

Open leaves beneath this node: four_exponentials_trdeg_one.

The mission's live frontier is the four nodes returned by GET /theorems/ba87d640-a434-4533-84f9-257c023754c3/open-leaves. Work there.
