CM relations in fibered powers of elliptic families

TL;DR

This paper proves finiteness results for special points on fibered powers of elliptic families, confirming cases of the Zilber-Pink conjecture related to complex multiplication and algebraic dependencies.

Contribution

It establishes finiteness of parameters where elliptic curves have complex multiplication and points become dependent, advancing the Zilber-Pink conjecture for elliptic schemes.

Findings

Finiteness of special parameters with CM and dependent points

Confirmation of a question by Bertrand

Proof of Zilber-Pink conjecture in specific elliptic setting

Abstract

Let $E_\lambda$ be the Legendre family of elliptic curves. Given $n$ linearly independent points $P_1,\dots , P_n \in E_\lambda\left(\overline{\mathbb{Q}(\lambda)}\right)$ we prove that there are at most finitely many complex numbers $\lambda_0$ such that $E_{\lambda_0} $ has complex multiplication and $P_1(\lambda_0), \dots ,P_n(\lambda_0)$ are dependent over $End(E_{\lambda_0})$. This implies a positive answer to a question of Bertrand and, combined with a previous work in collaboration with Capuano, proves the Zilber-Pink conjecture for a curve in a fibered power of an elliptic scheme when everything is defined over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$.
