Bombieri–Lang conjecture on rational points outside a proper subset

About 10 years old · traced to

Let XX be a smooth projective variety defined over a number field kk. Bombieri–Lang conjecture. There exists a proper Zariski closed subset Ξ⫋X\Xi\subsetneqq X such that, for every number field extension k′k' of kk, the set of k′k'-rational points of X∖ΞX\setminus\Xi is finite. This arithmetic conjecture is cited as an analogy for the generalized Green–Griffiths–Lang conjecture; the source gives no resolution.
