Amoroso–David geometric essential minimum conjecture for torus translates

From papers

Let XGmN(Q)X\subset \mathbf{G}_m^N(\overline{\mathbf{Q}}) be a variety, and let VXV_X be the smallest translate of a subtorus containing XX. Write μ^ess(X)\widehat{\mu}^{\mathrm{ess}}(X) for the essential minimum of the normalized Weil height, deg(VX)\deg(V_X) for the degree of VXV_X, and ωQ(X;VX)\omega_{\overline{\mathbf{Q}}}(X;V_X) for the obstruction degree of XX in VXV_X. Amoroso–David's geometric conjecture. There exists a real constant c(N)>0c(N)>0 such that

μ^ess(X)c(N)deg(VX)ωQ(X;VX).\widehat{\mu}^{\mathrm{ess}}(X)\geq c(N)\frac{\deg(V_X)}{\omega_{\overline{\mathbf{Q}}}(X;V_X)}.

The source presents this as the geometric analogue of the preceding conjecture, expected to be especially relevant for translates of subtori by points of infinite order; it gives no resolution status.
