In this paper we prove that assuming Schanuel's conjecture, an exponential polynomial in one variable over the algebraic numbers has only finitely many algebraic solutions. This implies a positive answer to Shapiro's conjecture for…
We show, assuming Schanuel's conjecture, that every irreducible complex polynomial in two variables where both variables appear has infinitely many algebraically independent solutions of the form (z,e^z).
We study solutions of exponential polynomials over the complex field. Assuming Schanuel's conjecture we prove that certain polynomials have generic solutions in the complex field.
Assuming Schanuel's Conjecture we prove that for any variety V over the algebraic closure over the rational numbers, of dimension n and with dominant projections, there exists a generic point in V. We obtain in this way many instances of…
Inspired by work done for systems of polynomial exponential equations, we study systems of equations involving the modular $j$ function. We show general cases in which these systems have solutions, and then we look at certain situations in…
This is an expository paper aiming to introduce Zilber's Exponential Closedness conjecture to a general audience. Exponential Closedness predicts when (systems of) equations involving addition, multiplication, and exponentiation have…
We consider the theory of algebraically closed fields of characteristic zero with multivalued operations $x\mapsto x^r$ (raising to powers). It is in fact the theory of equations in exponential sums. In an earlier paper we have described…
The algebra of exponential fields and their extensions is developed. The focus is on ELA-fields, which are algebraically closed with a surjective exponential map. In this context, finitely presented extensions are defined, it is shown that…
We prove the analogue of Schanuel's conjecture for raising to the power of an exponentially transcendental real number. All but countably many real numbers are exponentially transcendental. We also give a more general result for several…
Recently Brownawell and the second author proved a "non-degenerate" case of the (unproved) "Zilber Nullstellensatz" in connexion with "Strong Exponential Closure". Here we treat some significant new cases. In particular these settle…
In this paper we prove Shapiro's 1958 Conjecture on exponential polynomials, assuming Schanuel's Conjecture.
The Schinzel hypothesis essentially claims that finitely many irreducible polynomials in one variable over Z simultaneously assume infinitely many prime values unless there is an obvious reason why this is impossible. We prove that under a…
Let $g(x)$ be a fixed non-constant complex polynomial. It was conjectured by Schinzel that if $g(h(x))$ has boundedly many terms, then $h(x)\in \C[x]$ must also have boundedly many terms. Solving an older conjecture raised by R\'enyi and by…
This paper contains an alternate proof of the Schanuel Nullstellensatz for Zilber's Pseudoexponentiation. Furthermore, in an algebraically closed exponential field whose exponential map is surjective with standard kernel, this property…
We consider Diophantine equations of the shape $ f(x) = g(y) $, where the polynomials $ f $ and $ g $ are elements of power sums. Using a finiteness criterion of Bilu and Tichy, we will prove that under suitable assumptions infinitely many…
Pseudoexponential fields are exponential fields similar to complex exponentiation satisfying the Schanuel Property, which is the abstract statement of Schanuel's Conjecture, and an adapted form of existential closure. Here we show that if…
Assuming a modular version of Schanuel's conjecture and the modular Zilber-Pink conjecture, we show that the existence of generic solutions of certain families of equations involving the modular $j$ function can be reduced to the problem of…
We show a case of Zilber's Exponential-Algebraic Closedness Conjecture, establishing that the conjecture holds for varieties which split as the product of a linear subspace of the additive group $\mathbb{C}^n$ and an algebraic subvariety of…
In this paper we give a conditional improvement to the Elekes-Szab\'{o} problem over the rationals, assuming the Uniformity Conjecture. Our main result states that for $F\in \mathbb{Q}[x,y,z]$ belonging to a particular family of…
Let exp(x) be the function determined by the classical power series of the exponentiation. Then E_p(x):=exp(px) is well-defined on Zp, the ring of p-adic integer (for p not equal to 2, we set E_2(x)=exp(4x)). Furthermore, E_p determines a…
