Abstract

Let VV be a smooth, projective, rationally connected variety, defined over a number field kk, and let ZVZ\subset V be a closed subset of codimension at least two. In this paper, for certain choices of VV, we prove that the set of ZZ-integral points is potentially Zariski dense, in the sense that there is a finite extension KK of kk such that the set of points PV(K)P\in V(K) that are ZZ-integral is Zariski dense in VV. This gives a positive answer to a question of Hassett and Tschinkel from 2001.
