Abstract

Given a correspondence between a modular curve SS and an elliptic curve AA, we prove that the intersection of any finite-rank subgroup of AA with the set of points on AA corresponding to an isogeny class on SS is finite. The question was proposed by A. Buium and B. Poonen in 2009. We follow the strategy proposed by the authors, using a result about the equidistribution of Hecke points on Shimura varieties and Serre's open image theorem. The result is an instance of the Zilber-Pink conjecture.
