Log Fano varieties over function fields of curves

Abstract: Consider a smooth log Fano variety over the function field of a curve. Suppose that the boundary has positive normal bundle. Choose an integral model over the curve. Then integral points are Zariski dense, after removing an explicit finite set of points on the base curve.

Review text

Let \(B\) a smooth projective curve over an algebraically closed field \(k\) of characteristic zero, and denote by \(F\) the function field \(k(B)\). Let \((X,D)\) be a pair consisting of a smooth projective variety \(X\) and a reduced effective divisor \(D \subset X\) with normal crossing. An integral model \(\pi : (\mathcal X, \mathcal D) \to B\) is a flat proper morphism \(\pi\) from a normal variety \(\mathcal X\) to \(B\) with generic fiber \(X\) and a closed subscheme \(\mathcal D \subset \mathcal X\) such that the restriction of \(\pi\) to \(\mathcal D\) is flat and has generic fiber \(D\). A point in \(X(F)\) gives rise to a section of \(\pi\), which meets \(\mathcal D\) in a finite set. Fixing a finite set \(S \subset B\) an \(S\)-integral point of the model is a point of \(X(F)\) such that for the corresponding section \(s\) we have \(s^{-1}(\mathcal D) \subset S\). The main result of the paper under review is the following: Assume that \((X,D)\) is a pair such that \(D\) is rationally connected and \(c_1(\mathcal N_{D/X})\) is numerically equivalent to a nontrivial effective divisor; then, given an integral model as above there exists a finite set of points \(S \subset B\) such that the \(S\)-integral points of \((\mathcal X, \mathcal D)\) are Zariski dense. This result has a corollary regarding the density of integral points on some log Fano varieties.
