Abstract

We prove an Andr\'e--Oort-type result for a family of hypersurfaces in Cn\mathbb{C}^n that is both uniform and effective. Let KK_* denote the single exceptional imaginary quadratic field which occurs in the Siegel--Tatuzawa lower bound for the class number. We prove that, for m,nZ>0m, n \in \mathbb{Z}_{>0}, there exists an effective constant c(m,n)>0c(m, n)>0 with the following property: if pairwise distinct singular moduli x1,,xnx_1, \ldots, x_n with respective discriminants Δ1,,Δn\Delta_1, \ldots, \Delta_n are such that a1x1m++anxnmQa_1 x_1^m + \ldots + a_n x_n^m \in \mathbb{Q} for some a1,,anQ{0}a_1, \ldots, a_n \in \mathbb{Q} \setminus \{0\} and #{Δi:Q(Δi)=K}1\# \{ \Delta_i : \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{\Delta_i}) = K_*\} \leq 1, then maxiΔic(m,n)\max_i \lvert \Delta_i \rvert \leq c(m, n). In addition, we prove an unconditional and completely explicit version of this result when (m,n)=(1,3)(m, n) = (1, 3) and thereby determine all the triples (x1,x2,x3)(x_1, x_2, x_3) of singular moduli such that a1x1+a2x2+a3x3Qa_1 x_1 + a_2 x_2 + a_3 x_3 \in \mathbb{Q} for some a1,a2,a3Q{0}a_1, a_2, a_3 \in \mathbb{Q} \setminus \{0\}.
