At a candidate u with u, w₁…w_m algebraically independent over Q̄, every 2×2 configuration in Q̄ + Q̄u + Q̄ū + ΣQ̄w_k has, in every row and every column, an entry outside the Q̄-span of the logarithms
ProvedDiazModulus.candidate_two_by_two_config_entry_not_mem_span_logAlgHere is the set of logarithms of algebraic numbers, and is the -vector space spanned by and . Let be a candidate for Diaz's conjecture (DiazModulus.IsCandidate) with algebraically independent over . For every configuration over in , each row and each column of contains an entry outside . In particular the matrix is never a matrix of logarithms of algebraic numbers, so the four exponentials theorem can never be applied to it. It concerns candidates, so it is vacuous if Diaz's conjecture holds.
Proof. is algebraic, so DiazModulus.circle_point_config_constant_matrix_det_ne_zero with gives an invertible with ; every row and column of has a non-zero entry. Since (DiazModulus.logAlg_conj_stable), would put the algebraic number in , and DiazModulus.algebraic_mem_span_logAlg_eq_zero would give .
Novelty. Not found in the sources read; it is short: the invertible constant matrix (DiazModulus.circle_point_config_constant_matrix_det_ne_zero) plus Baker.
