Ihara's growth conjecture for Euler–Kronecker constants of cyclotomic fields

From papers

For mm sufficiently large, let Q(ζm){\mathbb Q}(\zeta_m) denote the mm-th cyclotomic field and let γQ(ζm)\gamma_{{\mathbb Q}(\zeta_m)} be its Euler–Kronecker constant. Ihara's growth conjecture. There are positive constants 0<a0,a120<a_0,a_1\leq 2 such that, for every ϵ>0\epsilon>0,

(a0ϵ)logm<γQ(ζm)<(a1+ϵ)logm.(a_0-\epsilon)\log m<\gamma_{{\mathbb Q}(\zeta_m)}<(a_1+\epsilon)\log m.

The conjecture predicts logarithmic-order growth with positive lower and upper constants. The source later reports that results of Ford, Luca and Moree show that γQ(ζm)\gamma_{{\mathbb Q}(\zeta_m)} can be negative, so the stated lower bound is refuted.
