Abstract: In this paper we prove that the set of S-integral points of the smooth cubic surfaces in mathbbA3 over a number field k is not thin, for suitable k and S. As a corollary, we obtain results on the complement in mathbbP2 of a smooth cubic curve, improving on Beukers' proof that the S-integral points are Zariski dense, for suitable S and k. With our method we reprove Zariski density, but our result is more powerful since it is a stronger form of Zariski density. We moreover prove that the rational integer points on the Fermat cubic surface x3+y3+z3=1 form a non-thin set and we link our methods to previous results of Lehmer, Miller-Woollett and Mordell.
