Lang's conjecture relating entire curves and integral sets
Lang's conjecture relating entire curves and integral sets
Let be an algebraic variety defined over a number field . A holomorphic map is non-constant if it is not constant, and its image is Zariski dense if its Zariski closure is all of . An integral set on means a set of integral points in the usual arithmetic sense.
Lang's conjecture. There exists a non-constant holomorphic map
with Zariski dense image if and only if there is a finite field extension such that admits an infinite, respectively Zariski dense, integral set.
This conjecture expresses the proposed correspondence between the diophantine behavior of varieties over number fields and their complex-analytic properties, with entire curves corresponding to infinite sets of integral points for non-compact varieties. The source presents it as part of a philosophy widely conjectured by Serge Lang and others; its resolution is not specified here.
