Szemberg's Pell-equation lower bound for Seshadri constants

Let XX be a smooth projective surface with ρ(X)=1\rho(X)=1, let LL be the ample generator of N1(X)N^1(X), and write (L2)=N(L^2)=N. Assume that NN is not a square. Let (p0,q0)(p_0,q_0) be the primitive solution of the Pell equation

y2dx2=1.y^2-dx^2=1.

Szemberg's conjecture. For a very general point xXx\in X,

ϵ(L;x)p0Nq0.\epsilon(L;x)\geqslant \frac{p_0N}{q_0}.

This is a proposed lower bound for Seshadri constants on surfaces of Picard number one. The source attributes it to Szemberg but supplies no evidence of resolution.
