Abstract

We study integral points on affine surfaces by means of a new method, relying on the Subspace Theorem. Under suitable assumptions on the divisor at infinity, we prove that the integral points are contained in a curve. As a corollary, we prove that there are only finitely many quadratic integral points on an affine curve with five points at infinity.
