Rational curves and the Hilbert Property on Jacobian Kummer varieties

Number Theory 2025-08-12 v2 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

A conjecture by Corvaja and Zannier predicts that smooth, projective, simply connected varieties over a number field with Zariski dense set of rational points have the Hilbert Property; this was proved by Demeio for Kummer surfaces which are associated to products of two elliptic curves. In this article, over a finitely generated field of characteristic zero, we establish the Hilbert Property for all Kummer surfaces associated to the Jacobian of a genus 22 curve. In general we prove that all Jacobian Kummer varieties associated to a hyperelliptic curve of genus 2\geq 2 of odd degree also have the Hilbert Property.
