Definitions and mathematical statement

Shared notation.
$\mathbb N=\{1,2,\ldots\}$, and $\mathbb Z,\mathbb Q,\mathbb R,\mathbb C$ denote the integers, rationals, reals and complex numbers. Any other conventions are specified locally.

For $n\in\mathbb Z$, a $D(n)$-$m$-tuple is a set $A=\{a_1,\ldots,a_m\}\subset\mathbb N$ of distinct positive integers such that $a_i a_j+n$ is the square of an integer for every $i<j$.

Statement recorded in the supplied source.
For each fixed nonzero integer $n$ which is not a perfect square, are there only finitely many $D(n)$-quadruples? [S2]

Short English statement

Does every fixed nonzero nonsquare parameter admit only finitely many positive integer quadruples?
