Corvaja–Zannier's conjecture on the Hilbert Property

Let KK be a number field and let XX be a variety over KK. Assume that X(K)X(K) is Zariski dense and that XX has a smooth, projective model over KK which is algebraically simply connected. Corvaja–Zannier's conjecture. Then XX has the Hilbert Property. The conjecture asserts that, for smooth projective simply connected varieties, Zariski density of rational points is the only obstruction to the Hilbert Property. It is known in particular for Kummer surfaces associated to products of two elliptic curves, but remains open in general.
