Generalized Lehmer conjecture for abelian varieties
Let be an abelian variety over a number field , and let be a symmetric ample line bundle on . For a point , write and let denote the dimension of the smallest algebraic subgroup of containing .
Generalized Lehmer conjecture. There exists a positive constant such that
for all nontorsion points .
This is a height lower-bound problem for nontorsion points on abelian varieties, generalizing Lehmer-type conjectures for other algebraic groups. The source identifies it as an open problem; the theorem proved in the paper establishes a different uniform positive lower bound for points over the maximal abelian extension.
