Sums of three squareful numbers

A number is called r-full if whenever a prime p divides it, then so does pr. We discuss the frequency of
solutions to the equation x + y = z in r-full positive integers x, y, z, relating it to work of Campana about
integral points on orbifolds. We present a conjecture in the special case r = 2, together with some partial
results.
This is joint work with Karl Van Valckenborgh.
