Abstract

Let $E_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}}$ be the Legendre family of elliptic curves. Given $n$ points $P_{1},\ldots ,P_{n}\in E_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}}(\overline{\mathbb{Q}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D706})})$, linearly independent over $\mathbb{Z}$, we prove that there are at most finitely many complex numbers $\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}_{0}$ such that $E_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}_{0}}$ has complex multiplication and $P_{1}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}_{0}),\ldots ,P_{n}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}_{0})$ are linearly dependent over End$(E_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}_{0}})$. This implies a positive answer to a question of Bertrand and, combined with a previous work in collaboration with Capuano, proves the Zilber–Pink conjecture for a curve in a fibered power of an elliptic scheme when everything is defined over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$.
