For every abelian variety over a number field and every irreducible subvariety X over Qbar, must there be only finitely many maximal atypical subvarieties of X? Atypical intersections are components with dimension greater than the expected dimension of intersection with torsion translates of abelian subgroups, measured inside the smallest such special subvariety containing X.Short English statement

Zilber-Pink for abelian varieties over Qbar
OpenAI's claim
OpenAI presents the following claims relevant to this question, with manuscript numbers following paper order in Sources. In manuscript 1 (family 016; 2026-09-24), the asserted result is that subvarieties of abelian varieties over algebraic numbers have only finitely many maximal atypical intersections, measured inside their smallest containing torsion coset.Mathematical statement of the claimed result
Manuscript 1.
For a number field $K$, abelian variety $A/K$, and irreducible $X\subseteq A_{\bar K}$, let $S$ be the smallest special subvariety containing $X$; special subvarieties are torsion translates of abelian subvarieties. An irreducible component $Y$ of $X\cap Z$, $Z\subseteq S$ special, is atypical when \[ \dim Y>\dim X+\dim Z-\dim S. \] The claim is finiteness of maximal atypical subvarieties of $X$, equivalently existence of finitely many proper atypical $Y_j\subsetneq X$ containing every atypical subvariety. No dimension bound on $A$ or $X$ is imposed.Outline of the argument
For manuscript 1 (family 016; 2026-09-24), a counterexample sequence is decomposed into distinct height scales. Uniform tangent positivity and weighted small sections give a height inequality despite growing homomorphism coefficients and point degrees; passing to suitable quotients rules out the remaining scale configurations.Formal verification
No Lean formalization is listed at this snapshot for manuscript 1 (family 016; 2026-09-24).This site has not executed the Lean code. Described statement coverage is not an independent proof check.
Status caveat
The manuscripts were produced by an internal OpenAI model. OpenAI cautions that results without formalization can contain mistakes. This site has not independently checked the proofs; the label records the scope of OpenAI's claim.Sources
