We consider some Diophantine problems of mixed modular-multiplicative type associated with the Zilber-Pink conjecture. In particular, we prove a finiteness statement for the number of multiplicative relations between singular moduli…

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 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…

We show that the Lang-Trotter conjecture for pairs of elliptic curves implies new cases of the Zilber-Pink conjecture for curves in $\mathcal{A}_3$. Unlike previous results for curves in $\mathcal{A}_g$, our result does not rely on any…

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 some cases of the Zilber-Pink conjecture on unlikely intersections in Shimura varieties. Firstly, we prove that the Zilber-Pink conjecture holds for intersections between a curve and the union of the Hecke translates of a fixed…

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…

We establish Large Galois orbits conjectures for points of unlikely intersections of curves in $Y(1)^n$, upon assumptions on the intersection of such curves with the boundary $X(1)^n\backslash Y(1)^n$, in the Zilber-Pink setting. As a…

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…

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…

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…

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 existence of a non-trivial solution of $x^n+y^n=p^n$, with $p$ a prime number, is equivalent to the existence of a solution of a certain (over-determined) system of $(n-1)$-recursion relations ("zipper" equations) in…

In this paper we show how some known weak forms of the Zilber--Pink conjecture can be strengthened by combining them with the Mordell--Lang conjecture or its variants. We illustrate this idea by proving some theorems on atypical…

In this paper, by using the theory of elliptic curves, we discuss several Diophantine equations related with the so-called figurate primes. Meanwhile, we raise several conjectures related with figurate primes and Hilbert's 8th problem,…

We prove that the modular Zilber--Pink conjecture (in Pink's formulation in terms of unlikely intersections) holds for all subvarieties $V$ of $ \mathrm{Y}(1)^n$ for which no projection to any $\dim V + 2$ coordinates is defined over the…

We solve the Diophantine equations $x^5 + y^5 = dz^p$ with $d=2, 3$ for a set of prime numbers of density 1/4, 1/2, respectively. The method consists in relating a possible solution to another Diophantine equation and solving the later by…
