Abstract

We show that certain non-special but weakly special threefolds XX constructed by Bogomolov-Tschinkel enjoy strong complex hyperbolicity properties: their entire curves are algebraically degenerate and lie either on a fixed divisor or on the fiber of the unique elliptic fibration on XX. These properties are consistent with the conjectural link between hyperbolicity and arithmetics of projective manifolds. The arithmetic counterpart of this hyperbolicity property (the non-potential density of XX, object of two conflicting conjectures) remains however open.
