The product conjecture for fields with the Bogomolov property

Let EE and FF be fields of algebraic numbers. A set has the Bogomolov property if there exists a positive constant cc such that the Weil height of each element is either 00 or at least cc. The group product EFE^*F^* consists of products efef with eEe\in E^* and fFf\in F^*.

Product conjecture. If EE and FF have the Bogomolov property, then the group product EFE^*F^* also has the Bogomolov property.

The statement is suggested by the preceding example and is presented as a conjectural strengthening of the established result for (Qab)(Qtr)({\mathbb Q}^{\rm ab})^*({\mathbb Q}^{\rm tr})^*. The source indicates that an even more general result will be proved later, so the conjectural statement is expected to be resolved within the paper.
