Positive-integral-point equidistribution conjecture for real genus-zero curves

About 28 years old · traced to

Let C⊂C2C\subset\mathbb{C}^2 be a curve defined over Z\mathbb{Z} and irreducible over C\mathbb{C}. Let CRC_{\mathbb{R}} be an irreducible component of C∩R2C\cap\mathbb{R}^2 whose intersection with the first quadrant is noncompact. Positive-integral-point conjecture.

CR has infinitely many integral points⟹CR has infinitely many positive integral points.C_{\mathbb{R}}\text{ has infinitely many integral points}\Longrightarrow C_{\mathbb{R}}\text{ has infinitely many positive integral points}.

The conjecture is motivated by the desired equivalence between computability of \mathbf{\Big}_{\mathbb{N},2} and \mathbf{\Big}_{\mathbb{Z},2}; together with quantifier elimination over R\mathbb{R}, it would imply that equivalence. Its status is open in the source.
