Schanuel's conjecture, Shapiro's conjecture, and an actual theorem.
Abstract: In the 50's, Shapiro conjectured that if two exponential
polynomials in one variable which are each sums of terms of the form
exp(a+bz) have no common factors, then they have only finitely many common
zeros. The goal of this talk is to prove that a special case of this
conjecture holds in Pseudoexponentiation as well as in any other
algebraically closed exponential field of characteristic zero satisfying
Schanuel's conjecture.
