Special Subvarieties in Mumford-Tate Varieties
Documenta mathematica, Tome 24 (2019), pp. 523-544
Let X=Γ\D be a Mumford-Tate variety, i.e., a quotient of a Mumford-Tate domain D=G(R)/V by a discrete subgroup Γ. Mumford-Tate varieties are generalizations of Shimura varieties. We define the notion of a special subvariety Y⊂X (of Shimura type), and formulate necessary criteria for Y to be special. Our method consists in looking at finitely many compactified special curves Ci in Y, and testing whether the inclusion ⋃iCi⊂Y satisfies certain properties. One of them is the so-called relative proportionality condition. In this paper, we give a new formulation of this numerical criterion in the case of Mumford-Tate varieties X. In this way, we give necessary and sufficient criteria for a subvariety Y of X to be a special subvariety of Shimura type in the sense of the André-Oort conjecture. We discuss in detail the important case where X=Ag, the moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties.
