Abstract

We construct a family of fibered threefolds Xm(S,Δ)X_m \to (S , \Delta) such that XmX_m has no \'etale cover that dominates a variety of general type but it dominates the orbifold (S,Δ)(S,\Delta) of general type. Following Campana, the threefolds XmX_m are called \emph{weakly special} but not \emph{special}. The Weak Specialness Conjecture predicts that a weakly special variety defined over a number field has a potentially dense set of rational points. We prove that if mm is big enough the threefolds XmX_m present behaviours that contradict the function field and analytic analogue of the Weak Specialness Conjecture. We prove our results by adapting the recent method of Ru and Vojta. We also formulate some generalizations of known conjectures on exceptional loci that fit into Campana's program and prove some cases over function fields.
