Schinzel–Zassenhaus–Boyd conjecture on the house

Let α\alpha be an algebraic integer of degree dd, with conjugates α=α1,,αd\alpha=\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_d, and define its house by

α=max1idαi.\lvert\alpha\rvert=\max_{1\leq i\leq d}\lvert\alpha_i\rvert.

Schinzel–Zassenhaus–Boyd conjecture. There is a constant T>1T>1 such that if α\alpha is not a root of unity, then

αT1/d.\lvert\alpha\rvert\geq T^{1/d}.

This is the exponential form suggested by the table in the source and is presented there as a conjecture bearing the label SZB. The source gives no resolution status.
