Strong Zilber–Pink conjecture I for atypical subvarieties

Let SS be a Shimura variety and let VV be an irreducible subvariety of SS. An irreducible subvariety WW of VV is called atypical if it is an irreducible component of VZV\cap Z for a special subvariety ZZ of SS and satisfies

dimW>dimV+dimZdimS.\dim W>\dim V+\dim Z-\dim S.

Write Atyp(V)\operatorname{Atyp}(V) for the union of the atypical subvarieties of VV. Strong Zilber–Pink I. Then Atyp(V)\operatorname{Atyp}(V) is equal to a finite union of atypical subvarieties of VV. This is presented as an ostensibly stronger formulation of Zilber–Pink and is known to be equivalent to it for a fixed Shimura variety under the cited results; the general conjecture remains open.
