In mathematics, the Lindemann–Weierstrass theorem is a result that is very useful in

establishing the transcendence of numbers. It states that if α1, ..., αn are algebraic numbers
which are linearly independent over the rational numbers Q, then eα1, ..., eαn are
algebraically independent over Q; in other words the extension field Q(eα1, ..., eαn) has
transcendence degree n over Q.

An equivalent formulation (Baker 1975, Chapter 1, Theorem 1.4), is the following: If

α1, ..., αn are distinct algebraic numbers, then the exponentials eα1, ..., eαn are linearly
independent over the algebraic numbers.

This is the conjecture which represents a reciprocal to Baker`s theorem .

Iff the exponentials eα1 , eα2 , eα3 , … , eαn are

linearly independent over the algebraic numbers , and
e is the transcedental number e ,

and α1 , α2 , α3 ,…, αn are not established to be

linearly independent over the algebraic numbers with
the use of Gelfond - Schneider theorem ,

than α1 , α2 , α3 ,…, αn are distinct algebraic

numbers .
We do not know if someone else did wrote a reciprocal of Baker`s
theorem because the mathematical literature is too big .
If this is the case , please do apologize me .

Let us discuss only this part of the reciprocal of Alan Baker`s theorem :

Iff the exponentials eα1 , eα2 , eα3 , … , eαn are

linearly independent over the algebraic numbers , and e
is the transcedental number e ,

Let us take αi distinct algebraic numbers .

But suppose that αi are distinct transcedental numbers .

Let e be the transcedental number e as it is known in the
mathematical literature .

e = 2.71828182845904452353602874713527 …

What about the numbers e αi

?

Are them algebraic numbers or transcedental numbers ?

The Lindemann-Weierstrass theorem do not tell us nothing about these kind

of numbers .

If we apply the natural logarithm , id est Loge(x) , to e αi

then we
obtain

ln ( e αi
) = αi .

We have supposed that αi are transcedental numbers .

We know that iff αi are algebraic numbers , than

ln ( αi ) are transcedental numbers .

Iff so it means that e αi

are algebraic numbers .

But in our supposition we took e as the transcedental number e and

αi as transcedental numbers , too .

From here we deduce that iff

e is the transcedental number e and

αi are transcedental numbers

than

e αi
are algebraic numbers .
Therefore iff

αi are transcedental numbers

than

e αi
are algebraic numbers .

…………………………………………………………………………………………….

So , iff

e αi
are transcedental numbers

this implies that

αi are distinct algebraic numbers .

This is a sketch of proof for our conjecture :

Iff the exponentials eα1 , eα2 , eα3 , … , eαn are linearly

independent over the algebraic numbers , and e is the transcedental number
e , than α1 , α2 , α3 ,…, αn are distinct algebraic numbers .
