Potential integral density on curve character varieties. Resolves the determinant-one curve case of Litt's integral-density question. For every smooth connected complex algebraic curve and every rank, integral points become Zariski dense in every component of its SLr character variety over the full ring of integers of one number field. Prescribed quasi-unipotent boundary conjugacy classes are allowed, including nonsemisimple classes.

We prove potential Zariski density of integral points on SLr-character varieties of smooth complex curves in every rank. The result allows prescribed quasi-unipotent boundary monodromy, including exact nonsemisimple conjugacy classes, and holds on every component over the full ring of integers of one finite extension. Here integrality is measured in the ambient character variety, while the exact boundary conditions are imposed on the complex representation.
