Lehmer's conjecture for abelian varieties

Let AA be an abelian variety defined over a number field KK, and let L\mathcal{L} be a symmetric ample line bundle on AA. For a point PA(K)P\in A(\overline{K}), let D=[K(P):K]D=[K(P):K] and let g0(P)g_0(P) be the dimension of the smallest algebraic subgroup of AA containing PP. Lehmer's conjecture. There is a constant C>0C>0 such that

h^L(P)CD1/g0(P)\hat{h}_{\mathcal{L}}(P)\geq C D^{-1/g_0(P)}

for all non-torsion points PA(K)P\in A(\overline{K}). This is a Lehmer-type lower bound for canonical heights on abelian varieties; the paper presents it as a conjectural application of its lower-bound results, and its resolution is not established in the supplied context.
