Lehmer-type conjecture for adelic heights

Let KK be a number field, let μ\mu be an adelic measure defined over KK, and let hμh_\mu be its associated adelic height on P1(K)\mathbb{P}^1(\overline{K}). Lehmer-type conjecture for adelic heights. There exists ε>0\varepsilon>0 such that

[K(α):K]hμ(α)ε[K(\alpha):K]h_\mu(\alpha)\geq\varepsilon

for every αP1(K)\alpha\in\mathbb{P}^1(\overline{K}) with hμ(α)>0h_\mu(\alpha)>0.

The paper notes that this formulation is trivially true when the energy infimum L(μ)\mathcal{L}(\mu) is positive, so it is not the appropriate generalization for the measures considered later. Its general status is not resolved in the supplied text.
