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…

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…

In this paper we prove the equidistribution of $\Cbf$-special subvarieties in certain Kuga varieties, which implies a special case of the general Andr\'e-Oort conjecture formulated for mixed Shimura varieties proposed by R.Pink. The main…

Let $\mathbb{V}$ be a polarized variation of integral Hodge structure on a smooth complex quasi-projective variety $S$. In this paper, we show that the union of the non-factor special subvarieties for $(S, \mathbb{V})$, which are of Shimura…

We study the intersections of special cycles on a unitary Shimura variety of signature (n-1,1), and show that the intersection multiplicities of these cycles agree with Fourier coefficients of Eisenstein series. The results are new cases of…

We show how to deduce the standard sign conjecture (a weakening of the K\"unneth standard conjecture) for Shimura varieties from some statements about discrete automorphic representations (Arthur's conjectures plus a bit more). We also…

We study the image of $\ell$-adic representations attached to subvarieties of Shimura varieties $Sh_K(G,X)$ that are not contained in a smaller Shimura subvariety and have no isotrivial components. We show that, for $\ell$ large enough…

Recently, we have witnessed tremendous applications of algebraic intersection theory to branches of mathematics, that previously seemed very distant. In this article we review some of them. Our aim is to provide a unified approach to the…

We state an improved version of the conjecture of Langlands and Rapoport, and we prove the conjecture for a large class of Shimura varieties. In particular, we obtain the first proof of the (original) conjecture for Shimura varieties of…

We extend the relative theory of admissible pairs and $p$-adic Hodge structures introduced in Part II to allow variation in the underlying local systems of $\mathbb{Q}_p$-vector spaces and isocrystals. This extension accommodates, in…

A strongly special subvariety of a Shimura variety $S$ is (essentially) a subvariety associated to a semi-simple sub-Shimura datum. We prove that the set of probability measures canonically associated to to strongly special subvarieties is…

We prove the Mumford--Tate conjecture for those abelian varieties over number fields whose extensions to C have attached adjoint Shimura varieties that are products of simple, adjoint Shimura varieties of certain Shimura types. In…

We formulate an analogue of the archimedean motivic action conjecture of Prasanna--Venkatesh for irregular cohomological automorphic forms on Shimura varieties, which appear on multiple degrees of coherent cohomology of Shimura varieties.…

In this paper we prove a special case of the Andr\'e-Oort conjecture for Kuga varieties. If $M$ is a Kuga variety fibred over a pure Shimura variety $S$ as an abelian scheme, and $(M_n)$ is a sequence of special subvarieties in $M$ which…

In [5] I.P. Goulden, D.M. Jackson, and R. Vakil formulated a conjecture relating certain Hurwitz numbers (enumerating ramified coverings of the sphere) to the intersection theory on a conjectural Picard variety. We are going to use their…

The main purpose of this work is to prove the Andr\'e-Oort conjecture in full generality.

The Mordell-Lang conjecture (proven by Faltings, Vojta and McQuillan) states that the intersection of a subvariety $V$ of a semiabelian variety $G$ defined over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{k}$ of characteristic $0$ with a finite…

Let $M$ be the Shimura variety associated to the group of spinor similitudes of a quadratic space over $\mathbb{Q}$ of signature $(n,2)$. We prove a conjecture of Bruinier and Yang, relating the arithmetic intersection multiplicities of…

We establish an effective version of the Andr\'e-Oort conjecture for linear subspaces of $Y(1)^n_{\mathbb{C}} \approx \mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{C}}^n$. Apart from the trivial examples provided by weakly special subvarieties, this yields the first…

In this survey, we outline the role of G-functions in arithmetic geometry, notably their link with Picard-Fuchs differential equations and periods. We explain how polynomial relations between special values of G-functions arising from a…
