David's conjecture on Lehmer-type lower bounds for abelian varieties

From papers

Let A/KA/K be an abelian variety over a number field, let L\mathcal{L} be an ample symmetric line bundle on AA, and let g=dimAg=\dim A. For PA(K)P\in A(\overline{K}) that is not torsion under End(AK)\operatorname{End}(A_{\overline{K}}), set

Dtors=[K(Ators,P):K(Ators)].D_{\mathrm{tors}}=[K(A_{\mathrm{tors}},P):K(A_{\mathrm{tors}})].

David's conjecture. For every ε>0\varepsilon>0, there exists a constant c(A/K,L)>0c(A/K,\mathcal{L})>0 such that

h^L(P)c(A/K,L)Dtors1g+ε.\widehat{h}_{\mathcal{L}}(P)\geq\frac{c(A/K,\mathcal{L})}{D_{\mathrm{tors}}^{\frac{1}{g}+\varepsilon}}.

The paper notes that its main theorem answers this conjecture for elliptic curves with complex multiplication; the general statement is not resolved here.
