Logarithmic-dimension conjecture for shifted algebraic numbers

From papers

Let α\alpha be an algebraic number of degree d2d\geq2. Consider the rational vector space spanned by the logarithms of its integer shifts, spanQ{log(n+α):0n<x}\operatorname{span}_{\mathbb Q}\{\log(n+\alpha):0\leq n<x\}. Logarithmic-dimension conjecture.

dimspanQ{log(n+α):0n<x}(1ρ(d))x.\dim \operatorname{span}_{\mathbb Q}\{\log(n+\alpha):0\leq n<x\}\sim(1-\rho(d))x.

This is presented as a plausible quantitative conjecture suggested by the same reasoning used earlier for multiplicative dependence. The source provides no resolution, so the asymptotic remains open.
