Here L\mathcal{L}L is the set of logarithms of algebraic numbers (the z∈Cz \in \mathbb{C}z∈C with eze^zez algebraic), and L~\widetilde{\mathcal{L}}L is the Q‾\overline{\mathbb{Q}}Q​-vector space spanned by 111 and L\mathcal{L}L. Let FFF be the subfield of C\mathbb{C}C generated by L~\widetilde{\mathcal{L}}L, that is, by Q‾\overline{\mathbb{Q}}Q​ and L\mathcal{L}L. Let u∈Cu \in \mathbb{C}u∈C be transcendental over FFF, with uuˉu\bar uuuˉ algebraic, and put Lu=spanQ(L)+spanQ(u,uˉ)\mathcal{L}_u = \mathrm{span}_{\mathbb{Q}}(\mathcal{L}) + \mathrm{span}_{\mathbb{Q}}(u, \bar u)Lu​=spanQ​(L)+spanQ​(u,uˉ); as L\mathcal{L}L is a Q\mathbb{Q}Q-vector space, this is L+Qu+Quˉ\mathcal{L} + \mathbb{Q}u + \mathbb{Q}\bar uL+Qu+Quˉ. Let L~u=spanQ‾({1}∪Lu)\widetilde{\mathcal{L}}_u = \mathrm{span}_{\overline{\mathbb{Q}}}(\{1\} \cup \mathcal{L}_u)Lu​=spanQ​​({1}∪Lu​). Then L⊆Lu\mathcal{L} \subseteq \mathcal{L}_uL⊆Lu​, u∈Luu \in \mathcal{L}_uu∈Lu​, u∉Q‾u \notin \overline{\mathbb{Q}}u∈/Q​, u≠0u \neq 0u=0 and ∣u∣|u|∣u∣ is algebraic, and Lu\mathcal{L}_uLu​ has the following properties:

  • (conjugation) zˉ∈Lu\bar z \in \mathcal{L}_uzˉ∈Lu​ for every z∈Luz \in \mathcal{L}_uz∈Lu​;
  • (Baker) if n≥0n \geq 0n≥0, l1,…,ln∈Lul_1, \dots, l_n \in \mathcal{L}_ul1​,…,ln​∈Lu​ are linearly independent over Q\mathbb{Q}Q, and b0,b1,…,bnb_0, b_1, \dots, b_nb0​,b1​,…,bn​ are algebraic numbers, not all zero, then b0+∑i=1nbili≠0b_0 + \sum_{i=1}^{n} b_il_i \neq 0b0​+∑i=1n​bi​li​=0;
  • (Hermite–Lindemann) every algebraic z∈Luz \in \mathcal{L}_uz∈Lu​ is 000;
  • (Gel'fond–Schneider) if l0≠0l_0 \neq 0l0​=0 and βl0\beta l_0βl0​ both lie in Lu\mathcal{L}_uLu​ and β\betaβ is algebraic, then β∈Q\beta \in \mathbb{Q}β∈Q;
  • (Roy, relative to L~\widetilde{\mathcal{L}}L) if no x1,x2x_1, x_2x1​,x2​, linearly independent over Q‾\overline{\mathbb{Q}}Q​, and y1,y2,y3y_1, y_2, y_3y1​,y2​,y3​, linearly independent over Q‾\overline{\mathbb{Q}}Q​, have all six products xiyjx_iy_jxi​yj​ in L~\widetilde{\mathcal{L}}L, then no such families have all six products in L~u\widetilde{\mathcal{L}}_uLu​;
  • (six exponentials) no x1,x2∈Cx_1, x_2 \in \mathbb{C}x1​,x2​∈C, linearly independent over Q\mathbb{Q}Q, and y1,y2,y3∈Cy_1, y_2, y_3 \in \mathbb{C}y1​,y2​,y3​∈C, linearly independent over Q\mathbb{Q}Q, have all six products xiyjx_iy_jxi​yj​ in Lu\mathcal{L}_uLu​;
  • (four exponentials in transcendence degree one) if ℓ11,ℓ12,ℓ21,ℓ22∈Lu\ell_{11}, \ell_{12}, \ell_{21}, \ell_{22} \in \mathcal{L}_uℓ11​,ℓ12​,ℓ21​,ℓ22​∈Lu​ are non-zero, ℓ11ℓ22=ℓ12ℓ21\ell_{11}\ell_{22} = \ell_{12}\ell_{21}ℓ11​ℓ22​=ℓ12​ℓ21​, and the Q\mathbb{Q}Q-algebra they generate has transcendence degree at most 111 over Q\mathbb{Q}Q, then there are a,b∈Qa, b \in \mathbb{Q}a,b∈Q, not both zero, with aℓ11+bℓ21=aℓ12+bℓ22=0a\ell_{11} + b\ell_{21} = a\ell_{12} + b\ell_{22} = 0aℓ11​+bℓ21​=aℓ12​+bℓ22​=0 (the rows of the matrix (ℓij)(\ell_{ij})(ℓij​) are linearly dependent over Q\mathbb{Q}Q), or with aℓ11+bℓ12=aℓ21+bℓ22=0a\ell_{11} + b\ell_{12} = a\ell_{21} + b\ell_{22} = 0aℓ11​+bℓ12​=aℓ21​+bℓ22​=0 (its columns are).

The Roy clause is an implication: Roy's strong six exponentials theorem for L~\widetilde{\mathcal{L}}L (Roy 1992, Cor. 2) is its hypothesis, not a hypothesis of the node, so the statement is unconditional. By DiazModulus.mem_logAlg_adjoin_circle_point_iff, L~u=L~+Q‾u+Q‾uˉ\widetilde{\mathcal{L}}_u = \widetilde{\mathcal{L}} + \overline{\mathbb{Q}}u + \overline{\mathbb{Q}}\bar uLu​=L+Q​u+Q​uˉ. So uuu is a non-zero element of Lu\mathcal{L}_uLu​ with algebraic modulus, and eue^ueu is not involved; DiazModulus.theorem_D_barrier draws the consequence.

Proof. L⊆Lu\mathcal{L} \subseteq \mathcal{L}_uL⊆Lu​ and u∈Luu \in \mathcal{L}_uu∈Lu​ by construction; u∉Q‾u \notin \overline{\mathbb{Q}}u∈/Q​ because Q‾⊆L~⊆F\overline{\mathbb{Q}} \subseteq \widetilde{\mathcal{L}} \subseteq FQ​⊆L⊆F and uuu is transcendental over FFF, so u≠0u \neq 0u=0; and ∣u∣|u|∣u∣ is algebraic because ∣u∣2=uuˉ|u|^2 = u\bar u∣u∣2=uuˉ. Conjugation follows from the membership criterion DiazModulus.mem_logAlg_adjoin_circle_point_iff: c+pu+quˉ‾=cˉ+qu+puˉ\overline{c + pu + q\bar u} = \bar c + qu + p\bar uc+pu+quˉ​=cˉ+qu+puˉ with cˉ∈L\bar c \in \mathcal{L}cˉ∈L (DiazModulus.logAlg_conj_stable). Baker, Hermite–Lindemann and Gel'fond–Schneider are DiazModulus.logAlg_adjoin_circle_point_baker_linear_forms and DiazModulus.logAlg_adjoin_circle_point_hermite_lindemann_gelfond_schneider, six exponentials is DiazModulus.logAlg_adjoin_circle_point_six_exponentials, and four exponentials is DiazModulus.logAlg_adjoin_circle_point_four_exponentials_trdeg_one. For the Roy clause, the second half of DiazModulus.mem_logAlg_adjoin_circle_point_iff rewrites L~u\widetilde{\mathcal{L}}_uLu​ as L~+Q‾u+Q‾uˉ\widetilde{\mathcal{L}} + \overline{\mathbb{Q}}u + \overline{\mathbb{Q}}\bar uL+Q​u+Q​uˉ, and DiazModulus.logAlgTilde_adjoin_circle_point_no_two_by_three_configuration turns Roy's theorem for L~\widetilde{\mathcal{L}}L, the hypothesis of the clause, into Roy's theorem for that space.

Novelty. Not found in the sources read; routine. With Lu\mathcal{L}_uLu​ in place of L\mathcal{L}L, each clause restates a classical theorem: Baker (1966), Hermite–Lindemann, Gel'fond–Schneider (1934), the six exponentials theorem (Lang 1966, Ramachandra 1968), the four exponentials theorem in transcendence degree one (Waldschmidt 1973, Brownawell 1974), and, as an implication, Roy's strong six exponentials theorem (Roy 1992, Cor. 2).
