Abstract:
A singular modulus is the j-invariant of an elliptic curve with complex multiplication. André (1998) proved that a polynomial equation F(x,y)=0 can have only finitely many solutions in singular moduli (x,y), unless the polynomial F(x,y) is "special" in a certain precisely defined sense. Pila (2011) extended this to equations in many variables, proving the André-Oort conjecture on $C^{n}$. The arguments of André and Pila were non-effective (used Siegel-Brauer).
I will report on a recent work by Allombert, Faye, Kühne, Luca, Masser, Pizarro, Riffaut, Zannier and myself about partial effectivization of these results.
