Some Problems of Unlikely Intersections in Arithmetic and Geometry

This book considers the so-called Unlikely Intersections, a topic that embraces well-known issues, such as Lang''s and Manin-Mumford''s, concerning torsion points in subvarieties of tori or abelian varieties. More generally, the book considers algebraic subgroups that meet a given subvariety in a set of unlikely dimension. The book is an expansion of the Hermann Weyl Lectures delivered by Umberto ...
