Sparsity of Integral Points on Moduli Spaces of Varieties

Number Theory 2022-08-22 v2

Abstract

Let XX be a quasi-projective variety over a number field, admitting (after passage to C\mathbb{C}) a geometric variation of Hodge structure whose period mapping has zero-dimensional fibers. Then the integral points of XX are sparse: the number of such points of height B\leq B grows slower than any positive power of BB. For example, homogeneous integral polynomials in a fixed number of variables and degree, with discriminant divisible only by a fixed set of primes, are sparse when considered up to integral linear substitutions.
