Corvaja–Zannier weak Hilbert property conjecture

About 1 year old · traced to

Let KK be a finitely generated field of characteristic zero, and let YY be a smooth connected KK-variety. If Y(K)Y(K) is Zariski dense in YY, then YY has weak Hilbert property (WHP) potentially over KK.

Corvaja–Zannier conjecture. Under these hypotheses, YY has WHP potentially over KK.

This conjecture is implied by a central conjecture of Corvaja and Zannier. It is known for abelian varieties and connected algebraic groups, as well as in other cases, but remains open in general.
