DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/SNUNT/2/">Ca
 nonical heights on Shimura varieties and the Andre-Oort conjecture</a>\nby
  Ananth Shankar (University of Wisconsin\, Madison) as part of SNU Number 
 Theory Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nLet S be a Shimura variety. The Andre-Oort c
 onjecture posits that the Zariski closure of special points must be a sub 
 Shimura subvariety of S. The Andre-Oort conjecture for A_g (the moduli spa
 ce of principally polarized Abelian varieties) — and therefore its sub S
 himura varieties — was proved by Jacob Tsimerman. \nHowever\, this conje
 cture was unknown for Shimura varieties without a moduli interpretation. I
  will describe joint work with Jonathan Pila and Jacob Tsimerman where we 
 prove the Andre Oort conjecture in full generality.\n
