Lang-Trotter phenomena and unlikely intersections

Christopher Daw, Georgios Papas

We show that the Lang-Trotter conjecture for pairs of elliptic curves implies new cases of the Zilber-Pink conjecture for curves in . Unlike previous results for cur…

Some new cases of Zilber-Pink in

Christopher Daw, Martin Orr, Georgios Papas

We prove the Zilber-Pink conjecture for curves in that intersect a modular curve in the boundary. We also give an unconditional result for unlikely intersection points hav…

The large Galois orbits conjecture under multiplicative degeneration

Christopher Daw, Martin Orr

We establish the PEL type large Galois orbits conjecture for Hodge generic curves in possessing multiplicative degeneration. Combined with our earlier works, this c…

A note on unlikely intersections in Shimura varieties

Vahagn Aslanyan, Christopher Daw

We discuss the relationships between the André-Oort, André-Pink-Zannier, and Mordell-Lang conjectures for Shimura varieties. We then combine the latter with the geometric Zilber-Pi…

Zilber-Pink in a product of modular curves assuming multiplicative degeneration

Christopher Daw, Martin Orr

We prove the Zilber--Pink conjecture for curves in whose Zariski closure in passes through the point , going beyond the asymme…

Lattices with skew-Hermitian forms over division algebras and unlikely intersections

Christopher Daw, Martin Orr

This paper has two objectives. First, we study lattices with skew-Hermitian forms over division algebras with positive involutions. For division algebras of Albert types I and II,…

Modular curves and their pseudo-analytic cover

Boris Zilber, Chris Daw

We find a natural -axiomatisation of a structure on the upper half-plane as the covering space of modular curves. The main theorem states that has a…

Canonical models of modular curves and the Galois action on CM-points

Boris Zilber, Chris Daw

We use the theory of canonical models of Shimura varieties to describe the projective limit of the curves Y(N), all N, and its automorphism group. In particular we prove that the G…

Effective computations for weakly optimal subvarieties

Gal Binyamini, Christopher Daw

Ren and the second author established that the weakly optimal subvarieties (e.g. maximal weakly special subvarieties) of a subvariety of a Shimura variety arise in finitely man…

Quantitative reduction theory and unlikely intersections

Christopher Daw, Martin Orr

We prove quantitative versions of Borel and Harish-Chandra's theorems on reduction theory for arithmetic groups. Firstly, we obtain polynomial bounds on the lengths of reduced inte…

The space of homogeneous probability measures on is compact

Christopher Daw, Alexander Gorodnik, Emmanuel Ullmo +1

In this paper we prove that the space of homogeneous probability measures on the maximal Satake compactification of an arithmetic locally symmetric space is compact. As an applicat…

Unlikely intersections with CM curves in

Christopher Daw, Martin Orr

The Zilber-Pink conjecture predicts that an algebraic curve in has only finitely many intersections with the special curves, unless it is contained in a proper spec…

Effective estimates for the degrees of maximal special subvarieties

Christopher Daw, Ariyan Javanpeykar, Lars Kühne

Let be an algebraic subvariety of a Shimura variety. We extend results of the first author to prove an effective upper bound for the degree of a non-facteur maximal special sub…

Convergence of measures on compactifications of locally symmetric spaces

Christopher Daw, Alexander Gorodnik, Emmanuel Ullmo

We conjecture that the set of homogeneous probability measures on the maximal Satake compactification of an arithmetic locally symmetric space is compact. More…

Conjugation of semisimple subgroups over real number fields of bounded degree

Mikhail Borovoi, Christopher Daw, Jinbo Ren

Let be a linear algebraic group over a field of characteristic 0. We show that any two connected semisimple -subgroups of that are conjugate over an algebraic closur…

Applications of the hyperbolic Ax-Schanuel conjecture

Christopher Daw, Jinbo Ren

In 2014, Pila and Tsimerman gave a proof of the Ax-Schanuel conjecture for the -function and, with Mok, have recently announced a proof of its generalization to any (pure) Shimu…

Heights of pre-special points of Shimura varieties

Christopher Daw, Martin Orr

Let s be a special point on a Shimura variety, and x a pre-image of s in a fixed fundamental set of the associated Hermitian symmetric domain. We prove that the height of x is poly…

The André-Oort conjecture via o-minimality

Christopher Daw

The purpose of this article is to explain the Pila-Zannier strategy for proving the André-Oort conjecture. First, however, we will provide a brief introduction to the theory of Shi…

Categoricity of modular and Shimura curves

Christopher Daw, Adam Harris

We describe a model-theoretic setting for the study of Shimura varieties, and study the interaction between model theory and arithmetic geometry in this setting. In particular, we…
