Abstract
Several properly countable unions of algebraic sets in are definable in including the set CM of -invariants of complex elliptic curves with complex multiplication. It has been suggested that one could prove the undecidability of by showing that the theory of the structure of the field of complex numbers considered with a unary predicate picking out CM is undecidable. We show using an effective version of the Andr\'e-Oort conjecture that to the contrary is stable and decidable. We discuss some related structures on the complex numbers definable in and how their theories may be connected to the Zilber-Pink conjectures.
