Independence of CM points in Elliptic Curves

Abstract

We prove a result which describes, for each $n\ge 1$, all linear dependencies among $n$ images in elliptic curves of special points in modular or Shimura curves under parameterizations (or correspondences). Our result unifies and improves in certain aspects previous work of Rosen-Silverman--Kühne and Buium-Poonen.
