In this note, we prove the Zilber--Pink conjecture for subvarieties of mixed Shimura varieties, which are not defined over~$\overline{\mathbb Q}$ in a strong sense. We prove similar results for general variations of mixed Hodge structure of…

A uniform bound of intersection multiplicities of curves and divisors on abelian varieties is proved by algebraic geometric methods. It extends and improves a result obtained by A. Buium with a different method based on Kolchin's…

We consider surfaces with a double elliptic fibration, with two sections. We study the orbits under the induced translation automorphisms proving that, under natural conditions, the finite orbits are confined to a curve. This goes in a…

We describe a general method for giving $p$-adic interpretations of $G$-functions arising from degenerating periods of smooth projective algebraic varieties. Using this, we are able to implement a strategy due to Andr\'e for bounding…

A conjecture by Yves Andre and Frans Oort says that closed subvarieties of Shimura varieties that contain a Zariski dense subset of special points are subvarieties of Hodge type. We prove this in the case where the subvariety is a curve…

Let $S$ be a Shimura variety with reflex field $E$. We prove that the action of $\operatorname{Gal}(\overline{\mathbb{Q}}/E)$ on $S$ maps special points to special points and special subvarieties to special subvarieties. Furthermore, the…

We prove, assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis for imaginary quadratic fields, that irreducible curves in the product of two modular curves that contain infinitely many complex multiplication points are either a Hecke correspondence…

Zilber's Exponential Algebraic Closedness conjecture (also known as Zilber's Nullstellensatz) gives conditions under which a complex algebraic variety should intersect the graph of the exponential map of a semiabelian variety. We prove the…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$, and let $\rho_E\colon {\rm Gal}(\overline{\mathbb{Q}}/\mathbb{Q})\to {\rm GL}(2,\widehat{ \mathbb{Z} })$ be the adelic representation associated to the natural action of Galois on the…

We prove, assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis, the Andre-Oort conjecture for Hilbert modular surfaces. More precisely, let K be a real quadratic field and let S be the coarse moduli space of complex abelian surfaces with…

The Poincar\'e torsor of a Shimura family of abelian varieties can be viewed both as a family of semi-abelian varieties and as a mixed Shimura variety. We show that the special subvarieties of the latter cannot all be described in terms of…

Let $C$ be a complex irreducible plane curve that is not the vanishing locus of a modular polynomial. We show that $C$ contains finitely many real algebraic curves whose projection on each coordinate axis is a union of special geodesics.

The paper is a part of our program to build up a theory of couting immersed nodal curve on algebraic surfaces, as an enumerative Riemann-Roch theory (outlined in math.AG/0405113). In this paper, we discuss the excess intersection theory of…

It has long been known that every quasi-homogeneous normal complex surface singularity with Q-homology sphere link has universal abelian cover a Brieskorn complete intersection singularity. We describe a broad generalization: First, one has…

In this paper we prove there are no families of cyclic $\Z_n$-covers of elliptic curves which generate non-compact Shimura (special) curves that lie generically in the Torelli locus $T_g$ of abelian varieties with $g\geq 8$ when $n$ has a…

We present a heuristic argument based on Honda-Tate theory against many conjectures in `unlikely intersections' over the algebraic closure of a finite field; notably, we conjecture that every abelian variety of dimension 4 is isogenous to a…

We prove that if a curve of a non-isotrivial family of abelian varieties over a curve contains infinitely many isogeny orbits of a finitely generated subgroup of a simple abelian variety then it is special.

This paper provides a non-standard analogue of Bezout's theorem. This is acheived by showing that, in all characteristics, the notion of Zariski multiplicity coincides with intersection multiplicity when we consider the full families 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…

Heuristics based on the Sato--Tate conjecture suggest that an abelian surface defined over a number field has infinitely many places of split reduction. We prove this result for abelian surfaces having real multiplication. Similar to…
