Kim's conjecture on eventual equality of nonabelian Chabauty sets

Let SS) be a finite set of primes, let X/ZSX/\mathbb{Z}_S be a smooth hyperbolic curve, and let pp be a prime not in SS. For each positive integer nn, let X(Zp)nX(\mathbb{Z}_p)_n denote the depth-nn nonabelian Chabauty set, with X(Zp)n=X(Zp),nX(\mathbb{Z}_p)_n=X(\mathbb{Z}_p)_{\emptyset,n}.

Kim's conjecture. For n0n\gg 0,

X(Zp)n=X(Z).X(\mathbb{Z}_p)_n=X(\mathbb{Z}).

This conjecture predicts that sufficiently deep nonabelian Chabauty sets recover the integral points exactly. Kim's programme gives finiteness of these sets under suitable dimension comparisons, while the asserted equality for all sufficiently large depths remains open in the stated context.
