Abstract

We explore an analogue of the Andr\'e-Oort conjecture for subvarieties of Drinfeld modular varieties. The conjecture states that a subvariety XX of a Drinfeld modular variety contains a Zariski-dense set of complex multiplication (CM) points if and only if XX is a "special" subvariety (i.e. XX is defined by requiring additional endomorphisms). We prove this conjecture in two cases. Firstly when XX contains a Zariski-dense set of CM points with a certain behaviour above a fixed prime (which is the case if these CM points lie in one Hecke orbit), and secondly when XX is a curve containing infinitely many CM points without any additional assumptions.
