An Hilbert Irreducibility Theorem for integral points of del Pezzo surfaces

Algebraic Geometry 2023-03-23 v2 Number Theory

Abstract

We prove that the integral points are potentially Zariski dense in the complement of a reduced effective singular anticanonical divisor in a smooth del Pezzo surface, with the exception of P2\mathbb{P}^2 minus three concurrent lines (for which potential density does not hold). This answers positively a question raised by Hassett and Tschinkel and, combined with previous results, completes the proof of the potential density of integral points for complements of anticanonical divisors in smooth del Pezzo surfaces. We then classify the complements which are simply connected and for these we prove that the set of integral points is potentially not thin, as predicted by a conjecture of Corvaja and Zannier.
