Abstract

Given an integral variation of Hodge structure V\mathbb{V} on a complex algebraic variety SS, polarized by some bilinear form Q:VVZQ : \mathbb{V} \otimes \mathbb{V} \to \mathbb{Z}, it is believed that the set A0isoS(C)\mathcal{A}^{\textrm{iso}}_{0} \subset S(\mathbb{C}) of isolated atypical special points associated to (V,Q)(\mathbb{V}, Q) forms a finite set. Here we show that the number of such points ss is O(Q(ts,ts)ε)O(Q(t_{s}, t_{s})^{\varepsilon}) for any ε>0\varepsilon > 0, where tst_{s} is a minimal integral Hodge tensor defining ss (in an appropriate sense). This resolves a conjecture of Grimm and Monnee.
