A proof of the Andre-Oort conjecture for A_g

Abstract

We give a proof of the André-Oort conjecture for ${\mathcal{A}}_g$ - the moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties. In particular, we show that a recently proven `averaged' version of the Colmez conjecture yields lower bounds for Galois orbits of CM points. The André-Oort conjecture then follows from previous work of Pila and the author.

The previous version (v2) claiming to prove the general case has a serious error, as was kindly pointed out by Klingler,Ullmo and Yafaev. As such, the article is being reverted to claiming only the case for A_g
