Mazur's topology of rational points conjecture
Mazur's topology of rational points conjecture
Let be any variety over . The topological closure of in is required to have at most finitely many connected components.
Mazur's conjecture. The topological closure of in possesses at most a finite number of connected components.
This conjecture concerns the archimedean topology of rational points and has consequences for Diophantine definitions over , including the nonexistence of Diophantine definitions for infinite discrete sets such as . Its resolution status is not specified in the source.
