Abstract
The purpose of this note is to draw attention to the question in the title. If C⊆Kn is an (absolutely) irreducible affine curve, defined by equations over a number field K, an algebraic integer point of C is a point P = (x1, …, xn) with all of x1, …, xn integers of some finite extension L of K. For such an algebraic integer point P to exist, there are obviously necessary local conditions: for every prime p of K there must exist a prime B above p and a corresponding finite extension LB of the completion Kp such that C has a B-adic integer point. We would like to know whether these obviously necessary local conditions are also sufficient.
