Integral points on the complement of plane quartics

Number Theory 2017-02-14 v2

Abstract

Let YY be the complement of a plane quartic curve DD defined over a number field. Our main theorem confirms the Lang-Vojta conjecture for YY when DD is a generic smooth quartic curve, by showing that its integral points are confined in a curve except for a finite number of exceptions. The required finiteness will be obtained by reducing it to the Shafarevich conjecture for K3 surfaces. Some variants of our method confirm the same conjecture when DD is a reducible generic quartic curve which consists of four lines, two lines and a conic, or two conics.
