The weak abc-conjecture for a number field

Let KK be a number field, let MKM_K be its set of places, and define the height h\operatorname{h} and conductor cond\operatorname{cond} as in the preceding number-field abc formulation. Weak abc-conjecture. There exists κ>1\kappa>1 such that, for every xKx\in K distinct from 00 and 11,

h(x)κ(cond(x)+cond(x1)+cond(x1)+1).\operatorname{h}(x)\le \kappa\bigl(\operatorname{cond}(x)+\operatorname{cond}(x^{-1})+\operatorname{cond}(x-1)+1\bigr).

This is explicitly presented as a weaker version of the number-field abc-conjecture and is the form used in the paper.
