Dimitrov's abelian-variety height lower-bound conjecture

Let AA be an abelian variety and let λ:AP1\lambda:A\dashrightarrow\mathbb{P}^1 be a rational function, both defined over a number field KK. Let hh be the standard height on P1\mathbb{P}^1, and let h^\widehat h be the canonical height associated with a fixed symmetric projective embedding of AA. Dimitrov's conjecture. There is a positive lower bound

infP1+h(λ(P))h^(P)>0,\inf_P\frac{1+h(\lambda(P))}{\widehat h(P)}>0,

where PP ranges over KK-rational points in A(K)dom(λ)A(K)\cap\operatorname{dom}(\lambda) that do not lie in a translate Q+BQ+B of a positive-dimensional abelian subvariety contracted by λ\lambda, meaning λ(Q+B)=λ(Q)\lambda(Q+B)=\lambda(Q). In particular, when AA is simple and λ\lambda is non-constant, the same assertion holds over all such KK-rational points. This is the stronger second version of the proposed abelian-variety conjecture and remains open.
