The arithmetic puncturing problem and integral points

Abstract

In this paper, we provide evidence to support a positive answer to a question of Hassett and Tschinkel. In particular, if an algebraic variety V has a dense set of rational points, they ask whether or not the set of D-integral points is potentially dense, where D is a set of codimension at least two. We give a positive answer to this question in many cases, including varieties whose generic linear section is a smooth rational curve, and certain K3 surfaces. We also discuss some stronger notions of integrality of points, and give some positive answers to some cases of the analogous question in the stronger context.
