André–Pink–Zannier conjecture for Shimura varieties

Let SS be a Shimura variety and let obreakΞobreakS obreak\boldsymbol{\Xi} obreak\to S be a \subset of the generalised Hecke orbit of a point in SS. Write obreakΞˉobreak obreak\boldsymbol{\bar{\Xi}} obreak for the union in SS of the generalised Hecke orbits of the points of obreakΞobreak obreak\boldsymbol{\Xi} obreak; a subvariety is obreakΞˉobreak obreak\boldsymbol{\bar{\Xi}} obreak-special if it is weakly special and contains a point of obreakΞˉobreak obreak\boldsymbol{\bar{\Xi}} obreak. André–Pink–Zannier conjecture for SS. The Zariski closure of obreakΞobreak obreak\boldsymbol{\Xi} obreak is a finite union of obreakΞˉobreak obreak\boldsymbol{\bar{\Xi}} obreak-special subvarieties. Equivalently, any subvariety VV of SS contains only finitely many maximal obreakΞˉobreak obreak\boldsymbol{\bar{\Xi}} obreak-special subvarieties. The statement is presented as the Shimura-variety André–Pink–Zannier conjecture; the supplied text gives no resolution for this formulation.
