Related papers: Multiplicative relations among singular moduli
We consider some diophantine problems suggested by the analogy between multiplicative groups and powers of the modular curve in problems of "unlikely intersections." We prove a special case of the Zilber-Pink conjecture for curves.
In this paper we survey the history of, and recent developments on, two major conjectures originating in Zilber's model-theoretic work on complex exponentiation -- Existential Closedness and Zilber-Pink. The main focus is on the modular…
Let $n \in \mathbb{Z}_{>0}$. We prove that there exist a finite set $V$ and finitely many algebraic curves $T_1, \ldots, T_k$ with the following property: if $(x_1, \ldots, x_n, y)$ is an $(n+1)$-tuple of pairwise distinct singular moduli…
We provide a new, elementary proof of the multiplicative independence of pairwise distinct $\mathrm{GL}_2^+(\mathbb{Q})$-translates of the modular $j$-function, a result due originally to Pila and Tsimerman. We are thereby able to…
We prove the Zilber-Pink conjecture for curves in $Y(1)^3$ that intersect a modular curve in the boundary. We also give an unconditional result for unlikely intersection points having few places of supersingular reduction where they are…
We prove the Existential Closedness conjecture for the differential equation of the $j$-function and its derivatives. It states that in a differentially closed field certain equations involving the differential equation of the $j$-function…
We prove that only finitely many $j$-invariants of elliptic curves with complex multiplication are algebraic units. A rephrased and generalized version of this result resembles Siegel's Theorem on integral points of algebraic curves.
Let $E_\lambda$ be the Legendre family of elliptic curves. Given $n$ linearly independent points $P_1,\dots , P_n \in E_\lambda\left(\overline{\mathbb{Q}(\lambda)}\right)$ we prove that there are at most finitely many complex numbers…
Assuming a modular version of Schanuel's conjecture and the modular Zilber-Pink conjecture, we show that the existence of generic solutions of certain families of equations involving the modular $j$ function can be reduced to the problem of…
We give a proof of the Zilber--Pink conjecture for $n$-fold self-products of a curve $X$ inside the self-product of its Jacobian, when $X$ has appropriate bad reduction, its Jacobian has no extra endomorphisms, and $n$ is sufficiently…
We propose an axiomatic approach towards studying unlikely intersections by introducing the framework of distinguished categories. This includes commutative algebraic groups and mixed Shimura varieties. It allows us to define all basic…
Building on \cite{daworrpap,dawpap}, we prove two Zilber-Pink-type statements in $Y(1)^n$, assuming a weak form of the Lang-Trotter conjecture for pairs of elliptic curves.
We show that the strategy of point counting in o-minimal structures can be applied to various problems on unlikely intersections that go beyond the conjectures of Manin-Mumford and Andr\'e-Oort. We verify the so-called Zilber-Pink…
We prove the Zilber--Pink conjecture for curves in $Y(1)^n$ whose Zariski closure in $(\mathbb{P}^1)^n$ passes through the point $(\infty, \ldots, \infty)$, going beyond the asymmetry condition of Habegger and Pila. Our proof is based on a…
We investigate modularity of elliptic curves over a general totally real number field, establishing a finiteness result for the set non-modular $j$-invariants. By analyzing quadratic points on some modular curves, we show that all elliptic…
An identity is proved connecting two finite sums of inverse tangents. This identity is discretized version of Jacobi's imaginary transformation for the modular angle from the theory of elliptic functions. Some other related identities are…
Let $E_1, E_2 / \mathbb{C}$ be non-isomorphic elliptic curves with complex multiplication. We prove that the pair $(E_1, E_2)$ is characterised, up to isomorphism, by the difference $j(E_1) - j(E_2)$ of the respective $j$-invariants. In…
The Zilber-Pink conjecture predicts that an algebraic curve in $\mathcal{A}_2$ has only finitely many intersections with the special curves, unless it is contained in a proper special subvariety. Under a large Galois orbits hypothesis, we…
The modularity of an elliptic curve $E/\mathbb Q$ can be expressed either as an analytic statement that the $L$-function is the Mellin transform of a modular form, or as a geometric statement that $E$ is a quotient of a modular curve…
Mather and Yau showed that an isolated complex hypersurface singularity is completely determined by its moduli algebra. It is shown, for the simple elliptic singularities, how to construct continuous invariants from the moduli algebras and,…
