Height lower-bound conjecture for sextic twists of Mordell curves

For the Mordell curves

Ed:y2=x3+d,E_d:y^2=x^3+d,

let ζd\zeta_d be defined by

logζd=min{h^Ed(P):PEd(Q)Ed(Q)tors},\log \zeta_d=\min\{\hat{h}_{E_d}(P):P\in E_d(\mathbb{Q})\setminus E_d(\mathbb{Q})_{\mathrm{tors}}\},

with ζd=+\zeta_d=+\infty if the set is empty. Let

S6(X)={dZ:dX, d is sixth-power free}.S_6(X)=\{d\in\mathbb{Z}:|d|\leq X,\ d\text{ is sixth-power free}\}.

The sextic-twist height conjecture. For fixed ϵ>0\epsilon>0, the set of dS6(X){0}d\in S_6(X)\setminus\{0\} such that

ζd>ed1/6ϵ\zeta_d>e^{|d|^{1/6}-\epsilon}

has natural density 11 in S6(X)S_6(X). Thus, for almost all nonzero sixth-power-free parameters, the least nonzero canonical height is at least approximately d1/6|d|^{1/6} on the logarithmic scale.
