Amoroso's height conjecture for generators of symmetric Galois extensions

Let αQ\alpha\in\overline{\mathbb{Q}} generate a Galois extension of degree d=n!d=n! over Q\mathbb{Q} whose Galois group is isomorphic to the symmetric group Sn\mathfrak{S}_n. Here h(α)h(\alpha) denotes the absolute logarithmic Weil height. Amoroso's conjecture. There is a function c(d)c(d) tending to infinity with dd such that

h(α)c(d).h(\alpha)\geq c(d).

This conjecture seeks a height lower bound for generators of symmetric Galois extensions that grows with the extension degree. The supplied text presents it as a conjecture motivated by known results for particular generators, and gives no resolution.
