The nef anticanonical bundle converse to the Weak Lang Conjecture

About 28 years old · traced to

Let XX be a smooth projective variety defined over a number field KK. The anticanonical bundle −KX-K_X is nef when it has nonnegative degree on every curve C⊂XC\subset X.

The nef anticanonical bundle converse. If the anticanonical bundle −KX-K_X of XX is nef, then for some finite extension K′K' of KK the set X(K′)X(K') of K′K'-rational points of XX is Zariski dense.

The first test case is provided by K3 surfaces. The assertion is known for curves and for many K3 surfaces, including a large class treated in the paper, but remains open for general K3 surfaces over number fields.
