Shimizu–Hirakawa conjecture on coefficients of fundamental units

Let p3p\neq 3 be a prime number, let P=pP=p or 2p2p, and let

ϵ=α+βp1/3+γp2/3R>1\epsilon=\alpha+\beta p^{1/3}+\gamma p^{2/3}\in\mathbb{R}_{>1}

be the fundamental unit of Q(P1/3)\mathbb{Q}(P^{1/3}), where α,β,γ(1/3)Z\alpha,\beta,\gamma\in(1/3)\mathbb{Z}. Shimizu–Hirakawa conjecture. We have

β≢0(modp).\beta\not\equiv 0\pmod p.

This conjecture would imply that the parameter ι\iota used in the construction of non-singular plane curves violating the local-global principle equals 11 for every prime p3p\neq 3. Its status is not resolved in the supplied source.
