The large Galois orbits conjecture for endomorphism loci in principally polarised abelian varieties

About 5 years old · traced to

Let g≥3g\geq 3. Let Σ⊂Ag\Sigma\subset\mathcal{A}_g be the set of points whose associated abelian variety has endomorphism algebra either a totally real field other than Q\mathbb{Q} or a non-split totally indefinite quaternion algebra over a totally real field. Let C⊂AgC\subset\mathcal{A}_g be an irreducible Hodge generic algebraic curve defined over a finitely generated field L⊂CL\subset\mathbb{C}.

Large Galois orbits conjecture. There exist positive constants C1C_1 and C2C_2, depending only on gg, LL, and CC, such that for every s∈C∩Σs\in C\cap\Sigma,

#Aut⁡(C/L)⋅s≥C1∣disc⁡(End⁡(As))∣C2.\#\operatorname{Aut}(\mathbb{C}/L)\cdot s\geq C_1\lvert\operatorname{disc}(\operatorname{End}(A_s))\rvert^{C_2}.

This conjecture gives the polynomial lower bound on Galois-orbit sizes needed for the stated Zilber--Pink applications; the paper proves it in certain cases, but its general form remains open.
