Kollár's conjecture on diophantine subsets of the rational function field

From papers

Let DD be a diophantine subset of C(z)\mathbb{C}\left(z\right), and for each nZ1n\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 1} let C[z]n\mathbb{C}\left[z\right]_n be the (n+1)(n+1)-dimensional C\mathbb{C}-vector subspace of C[z]\mathbb{C}\left[z\right] spanned by {1,x,,xn}\{1,x,\cdots,x^n\}. Endow C[z]n\mathbb{C}\left[z\right]_n with the Zariski topology inherited from Cn+1\mathbb{C}^{n+1}. Kollár's conjecture. If DD contains a Zariski open subset of C[z]n\mathbb{C}\left[z\right]_n for infinitely many nZ1n\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 1}, then

C(z)D\mathbb{C}\left(z\right)\setminus D

is finite. The conjecture concerns the tension between diophantine definability and largeness in the spaces of polynomials; the supplied context notes that it is incompatible with the diophantineness of Campana points in C(z)\mathbb{C}\left(z\right) except in trivial cases.
