Finite descent obstruction for Hilbert modular varieties

Gregorio Baldi, Giada Grossi

Let be a finite set of primes. We prove that a form of finite Galois descent obstruction is the only obstruction to the existence of -points on integral models…

Automorphisms of the moduli space of smooth cubic surfaces and its fundamental group

Gregorio Baldi, Benson Farb, Ariyan Javanpeykar +1

Let be the moduli space of smooth complex cubic surfaces and let be its (orbifold) fundamental group. We prove that the ``divisor subgroup'' of $Ï…

Non-density of the exceptional components of the Noether-Lefschetz locus

Gregorio Baldi, Bruno Klingler, Emmanuel Ullmo

We study when the Picard group of smooth surfaces of degree in acquires extra classes. In particular we show that the so called exceptional components of t…

On the geometric Mumford-Tate conjecture for subvarieties of Shimura varieties

Gregorio Baldi

We study the image of -adic representations attached to subvarieties of Shimura varieties that are not contained in a smaller Shimura subvariety and have no isotr…

Special subvarieties of non-arithmetic ball quotients and Hodge Theory

Gregorio Baldi, Emmanuel Ullmo

Let be a lattice, and the associated ball quotient. We prove that, if contains infinitely many maximal totally geodesic subvarietie…

Effective atypical intersections and applications to orbit closures

Gregorio Baldi, David Urbanik

We propose a unifying setting for dealing with monodromically atypical intersections that goes beyond the usual Zilber-Pink conjecture. In particular we obtain a new proof of finit…

On the distribution of the Hodge locus

Gregorio Baldi, Bruno Klingler, Emmanuel Ullmo

Given a polarizable -variation of Hodge structures over a complex smooth quasi-projective base , a classical result of Cattani, Deligne and Kaplan says…

Murphy's law in non-abelian Hodge theory

Gregorio Baldi, Yeuk Hay Joshua Lam

We construct explicit examples of non-integral variations of -Hodge structures. Our approach leverages Fenchel--Nielsen-type parameterizations, due to Kabaya and Maskit…

Algebraic Hodge generic points are dense

Gregorio Baldi, Gal Binyamini, David Urbanik

Let be a quasi-projective family of varieties defined over . We show that the points of that are H…

Local to global principle for the moduli space of K3 surfaces

Gregorio Baldi

Recently S. Patrikis, J.F. Voloch and Y. Zarhin have proven, assuming several well known conjectures, that the finite descent obstruction holds on the moduli space of principally p…

Rich representations and superrigidity

Gregorio Baldi, Nicholas Miller, Matthew Stover +1

We investigate and compare applications of the Zilber-Pink conjecture and dynamical methods to rigidity problems for arithmetic real and complex hyperbolic lattices. Along the way…

Manin-Mumford in arithmetic pencils

Gregorio Baldi, Rodolphe Richard, Emmanuel Ullmo

We obtain a refinement of Manin-Mumford (Raynaud's Theorem) for abelian schemes over some ring of integers. Torsion points are replaced by special 0-cycles, that is reductions modu…

On a conjecture of Buium and Poonen

Gregorio Baldi

Given a correspondence between a modular curve and an elliptic curve , we prove that the intersection of any finite-rank subgroup of with the set of points on corres…

Some remarks on motivical and derived invariants

Gregorio Baldi

We discuss several conjectures about derived equivalent varieties, defined over fields of arbitrary characteristics, and implications among them. In particular we show that the (co…

What makes an algebraic curve special?

Gregorio Baldi

A survey of special curves, special subvarieties of , and related topics. A large portion of the text discusses various possible interpretation of the word 'special'…

Intersections and the Bézout Range: Abelian Varieties

Gregorio Baldi, David Urbanik

Given subvarieties of a complex algebraic variety of complementary dimension, must they intersect? When is projective space, this is a consequence of the classical B…

On the Geometric Zilber-Pink Theorem and the Lawrence-Venkatesh method

Gregorio Baldi, Bruno Klingler, Emmanuel Ullmo

Using our recent results on the algebraicity of the Hodge locus for variations of Hodge structures of level at least , we improve the results of Lawrence-Venkatesh in direction…

Hodge theory and o-minimality at CIRM

Gregorio Baldi

We discuss the relationship between o-minimality and the so called Zilber-Pink conjecture. Since the work of Pila and Zannier, algebraization theorems in o-minimal geometry had pro…
