Statement
The conjecture is as follows:
- Given any n complex numbers z1,...,zn which are linearly independent over the rational numbers Q, the extension field Q(z1,...,zn, exp(z1),...,exp(zn)) has transcendence degree of at least n over Q.
The conjecture can be found in Lang (1966).

Famous quotes containing the word statement:
“Children should know there are limits to family finances or they will confuse “we can’t afford that” with “they don’t want me to have it.” The first statement is a realistic and objective assessment of a situation, while the other carries an emotional message.”
—Jean Ross Peterson (20th century)
“He that writes to himself writes to an eternal public. That statement only is fit to be made public, which you have come at in attempting to satisfy your own curiosity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“One is apt to be discouraged by the frequency with which Mr. Hardy has persuaded himself that a macabre subject is a poem in itself; that, if there be enough of death and the tomb in one’s theme, it needs no translation into art, the bold statement of it being sufficient.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
