Mazur's First Conjecture on rational points of varieties

Let VV be any variety over Q\mathbb{Q}, and let V(Q)V(\mathbb{Q}) and V(R)V(\mathbb{R}) denote its rational and real points, respectively. Consider the topological closure of V(Q)V(\mathbb{Q}) in V(R)V(\mathbb{R}). Mazur's First Conjecture. This closure has at most finitely many connected components. The conjecture is one of Mazur's proposed routes toward showing that the integers do not have a Diophantine definition over the rationals; it remains unresolved.
