The Lang–Vojta conjecture for integral points

Let kk be a number field and let X/kX/k be a smooth projective variety with canonical sheaf K\mathcal{K}. Let DD be an effective, reduced, normal crossings divisor on XX, and let SS be any finite set of primes in Ok\mathcal{O}_k. If

KOX(D)\mathcal{K}\otimes\mathcal{O}_X(D)

is big, then any set of (D,S)(D,S)-integral points in XX is Zariski degenerate, meaning that it is not dense in the Zariski topology.

The Lang–Vojta conjecture. Under these hypotheses, every set of (D,S)(D,S)-integral points in XX is Zariski degenerate. These problems are central in Diophantine geometry and, for the most part, they remain open, even when X=P2X=\mathbb{P}^2 and DD is a smooth plane curve.
