Abstract

We study integral points on varieties with infinite \'etale fundamental groups. More precisely, for a number field FF and X/FX/F a smooth projective variety, we prove that for any geometrically Galois cover φ ⁣:YX\varphi\colon Y \to X of degree at least 2dim(X)22\dim(X)^2, there exists an ample line bundle L\mathscr{L} on YY such that for a general member DD of the complete linear system L|\mathscr{L}|, DD is geometrically irreducible and any set of φ(D)\varphi(D)-integral points on XX is finite. We apply this result to varieties with infinite \'etale fundamental group to give new examples of irreducible, ample divisors on varieties for which finiteness of integral points is provable.
