Generalized Siegel conjecture for elliptic curves

From papers

Let CC be an elliptic curve defined over Q\mathbb Q, embedded in projective space, and let xnx_n be a fixed coordinate in a coprime integral representative [x0,,xN][x_0,\ldots,x_N] of a rational point. For a fixed bound LL, let Sn(L)S_n(L) be the set of points QC(Q)Q\in C(\mathbb Q) for which xnx_n is divisible by fewer than LL primes. Generalized Siegel conjecture. The set Sn(L)S_n(L) is repelled by C(Q)C(\overline{\mathbb Q}): for every DC(Q)D\in C(\overline{\mathbb Q}), on any affine piece of CC containing DD, there is a punctured neighbourhood N(D)N(D) of DD in the archimedean topology such that

N(D)Sn(L)=.N(D)\cap S_n(L)=\emptyset.

This generalizes the finiteness phenomenon in Siegel's theorem from coordinates equal to 11 to coordinates having fewer than a fixed number of prime divisors. The supplied text does not establish the conjecture or provide evidence resolving its status.
