André–Oort–Pink conjecture for mixed Shimura varieties

Let MM be a mixed Shimura variety, and let ZMZ\subset M be an arbitrary closed subvariety. Let Σ(Z)\Sigma(Z) be the set of special subvarieties of MM contained in ZZ, and let Σmax(Z)\Sigma_{\mathrm{max}}(Z) be the subset of maximal special subvarieties in Σ(Z)\Sigma(Z) under inclusion.

André–Oort–Pink conjecture. The set Σmax(Z)\Sigma_{\mathrm{max}}(Z) is finite.

This is the mixed-Shimura-variety form of the André–Oort conjecture and predicts finiteness of the maximal special subvarieties contained in any closed subvariety. The paper proves equidistribution results for certain families of special subvarieties, but the general conjecture remains open.
