Abstract: This small text was written for the AMS Notices. It is a survey of integrality properties of complex local systems, where I tried to single out one example which is not entirely explicit in the literature. The focus is on the obstruction it yields for a finitely presented group to be the topological fundamental group of a connected smooth quasi-projective complex variety. I thank Johan de Jong, Michael Groechenig, and Moritz Kerz. The material in this expository note relies on joint work or discussions with them. [v2: There was one TeX typo on p.8 which I corrected].
