The converse to the Weak Lang Conjecture for varieties with negative canonical bundle
The converse to the Weak Lang Conjecture for varieties with negative canonical bundle
Let be a smooth projective variety defined over a number field . Its canonical bundle is negative when is ample.
The negative-canonical-bundle converse. If the canonical bundle of is negative, then for some finite extension of the set of -rational points of is Zariski dense.
The conjecture is true for curves and surfaces, where the hypothesis ensures that is rational; the first real test cases are Fano threefolds. The paper proves the assertion for smooth quartic hypersurfaces in projective space, but the general statement remains open.
