The hypothesis hWSC is the case n=2n = 2n=2 of Kirby's weak Schanuel conjecture (Kirby 2018, Conj. 1.5): if trdeg⁡QQ(a,b,ea,eb)<2\operatorname{trdeg}_{\mathbb{Q}}\mathbb{Q}(a, b, e^a, e^b) < 2trdegQ​Q(a,b,ea,eb)<2, then ma+nb∈2πiZma + nb \in 2\pi i\mathbb{Z}ma+nb∈2πiZ for some integers (m,n)≠(0,0)(m, n) \neq (0, 0)(m,n)=(0,0). It is not the ``weak Schanuel'' of Calegari and Mazur, which is the algebraic independence of logarithms and would give Diaz's conjecture outright.

Under hWSC, Diaz's modulus conjecture (DiazModulus.DiazModulusConjecture) holds if and only if t2+π2t^2 + \pi^2t2+π2 is transcendental for every real t≠0t \neq 0t=0 with ete^tet algebraic. The forward implication holds without hWSC. So, under Kirby's weak form, the real half of (S) is not needed.

Proof. DiazModulus.leaf_iff_one says the single relation is equivalent to Diaz's implication for the uuu off both axes with eue^ueu real and ≠1\neq 1=1; so Diaz's conjecture gives the relation unconditionally. Conversely, for a candidate uuu, DiazModulus.candidate_im_mem_pi_rat_of_weak_schanuel gives Im⁡u=qπ\operatorname{Im} u = q\piImu=qπ with q∈Q×q \in \mathbb{Q}^\timesq∈Q× and Re⁡u≠0\operatorname{Re} u \neq 0Reu=0. With NNN the denominator of qqq, v=Nuv = Nuv=Nu has Im⁡v\operatorname{Im} vImv a non-zero multiple of π\piπ, so eve^vev is real and ≠1\neq 1=1, and ∣v∣=N∣u∣|v| = N|u|∣v∣=N∣u∣ is algebraic; leaf_iff_one makes eve^vev transcendental, while ev=(eu)Ne^v = (e^u)^Nev=(eu)N is algebraic.

Novelty. Not found in the sources read; it is short.
