The 11.8 lower bound for the asymptotic height of classical modular polynomials

For each prime ll, let Φl\Phi_l be the classical modular polynomial and let h(Φl)h(\Phi_l) denote its height. Consider the normalized excess of its height over the leading term 6llogl6l\log l.

Asymptotic height lower-bound conjecture. For prime ll,

lim inflh(Φl)6llogll>11.8.\liminf_{l\to\infty}\frac{h(\Phi_l)-6l\log l}{l}>11.8.

The conjecture asserts that the linear correction term in the height remains asymptotically bounded below by a constant strictly greater than 11.811.8. The supplied text gives numerical motivation from tabulated values but no resolution.
