Zilber's conjecture on intersections with tori

Let Y\mathcal{Y} be an irreducible subvariety of Gmn{\bf G}_m^n defined over C{\bf C}. For algebraic subgroups HGmnH\subset {\bf G}_m^n satisfying

dimY+dimHn1,\dim \mathcal{Y}+\dim H\le n-1,

consider the union of the intersections YH\mathcal{Y}\cap H. Zilber's conjecture on intersections with tori. If

HGmndimY+dimHn1YH\bigcup_{\substack{H\subset {\bf G}_m^n\\ \dim \mathcal{Y}+\dim H\le n-1}}\mathcal{Y}\cap H

is Zariski dense in Y\mathcal{Y}, then Y\mathcal{Y} is contained in a proper algebraic subgroup of Gmn{\bf G}_m^n. Zilber's conjecture is stated more generally for semi-abelian varieties, and the conjecture above is open, although many partial results are known.
