DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/UCSD_NTS/21/
 ">Calabi-Yau varieties and Shimura varieties</a>\nby Joshua Lam (Harvard U
 niversity) as part of UCSD number theory seminar\n\nLecture held in normal
 ly APM 7321\, currently online.\n\nAbstract\nI will discuss the Attractor 
 Conjecture for Calabi-Yau varieties\, which was formulated by Moore in the
  nineties\, highlighting the difference between Calabi-Yau varieties with 
 and without Shimura moduli. In the Shimura case\, I show that the conjectu
 re holds and gives rise to an explicit parametrization of CM points on cer
 tain Shimura varieties\; in the case without Shimura moduli\, I’ll prese
 nt counterexamples to the conjecture using unlikely intersection theory. P
 art of this is joint work with Arnav Tripathy.\n\nThere will be a 30 minut
 e pre-talk.\n
