Krachun–Petrov conjecture on sums of algebraic dilates

Let λ\lambda be an algebraic number. For its minimal polynomial f(x)∈Z[x]f(x)\in\mathbb{Z}[x] with coprime coefficients, write

f(x)=∏i=1d(aix+bi)f(x)=\prod_{i=1}^d(a_i x+b_i)

for a full complex factorisation, and define

H(λ):=∏i=1d(∣ai∣+∣bi∣).H(\lambda):=\prod_{i=1}^d(|a_i|+|b_i|).

Krachun–Petrov conjecture. For every finite subset A⊂CA\subset\mathbb{C},

∣A+λ⋅A∣≥H(λ)∣A∣−o(∣A∣).|A+\lambda\cdot A|\geq H(\lambda)|A|-o(|A|).

This conjecture seeks the sharp asymptotic lower bound for sumsets formed from an algebraic dilate. It was posed by Krachun and Petrov after earlier work on algebraic dilates; the supplied text does not state whether it has been resolved.
