Lang–Vojta–Chevalley–Weil weakly special conjecture

Let XX be a variety over a number field. A variety is weakly special if it satisfies the geometric condition defined in Campana's theory; a variety satisfies potential density of integral points if, after a finite extension of the ground number field and removal of finitely many places, its integral points are dense.

Lang–Vojta–Chevalley–Weil conjecture. If XX satisfies potential density of integral points, then XX is weakly special.

This is motivated by the Lang–Vojta prediction that integral points on varieties of log-general type are not dense, together with Chevalley–Weil. The source gives no resolution of this conjecture.
