Abstract

Let XX be a smooth irreducible quasi-projective algebraic variety over a number field KK. Suppose XX is equipped with a pp-adic \'{e}tale local system compatible with an admissible graded-polarized variation of mixed Hodge structures on the complex analytification of XCX_{\mathbb{C}}. We prove that the SS-integral points in XX are covered by subpolynomially many geometrically irreducible KK-subvarieties, each lying in a fiber of the mixed period mapping arising from the variation of mixed Hodge structures. This is based on recent works by Brunebarbe-Maculan and Ellenberg-Lawrence-Venkatesh. As an application, we prove that there are subpolynomially many SS-integral Laurent polynomials with fixed reflexive Newton polyhedron Δ\Delta and fixed non-zero principal Δ\Delta-determinant. Our results answer a question asked by Ellenberg-Lawrence-Venkatesh.
