Rémond's conjecture on heights in divisible hull extensions

Let K\mathbb{K} be a number field, let Γ≤K×\Gamma\leq\mathbb{K}^{\times} be a non-torsion finitely generated subgroup, and define its divisible hull by

Γdiv={α∈Q‾×:αn∈Γ for some n∈N}.\Gamma^{\mathrm{div}}=\{\alpha\in\overline{\mathbb{Q}}^{\times}:\alpha^n\in\Gamma\text{ for some }n\in\mathbb{N}\}.

Put L=K(Γdiv)\mathbb{L}=\mathbb{K}(\Gamma^{\mathrm{div}}). Rémond's conjecture. The Weil height is bounded from below on L×∖Γdiv\mathbb{L}^{\times}\setminus\Gamma^{\mathrm{div}}. The conjecture would describe all small-height elements in this extension as arising from the divisible hull; the paper states that it lies beyond the scope of its methods and remains open.
