The Zilber--Pink conjecture for Shimura varieties

Let SS be a Shimura variety. A special subvariety of SS is an irreducible component of a Shimura subvariety of SS. An irreducible subvariety VSV\subset S is Hodge generic if it is not contained in any special subvariety other than a component of SS itself.

Zilber--Pink conjecture. If VV is an irreducible Hodge generic subvariety of SS, then the intersection of VV with the special subvarieties of SS having codimension greater than dimV\dim V is not Zariski dense in VV.

This is a general unlikely-intersections conjecture for Shimura varieties. The paper proves particular cases for curves in the moduli space of principally polarised abelian varieties, while the general statement remains open.
