          Habegger showed that a subvariety of a fibre power of the Legendre family of elliptic curves is special if and only if it contains a Zariski-dense set of special points. I'll discuss joint work with Gal Binyamini, Harry Schmidt, and Margaret Thomas in which we use pfaffian methods to obtain an effective uniform version of Manin-Mumford for products of CM elliptic curves. Using this we then prove an effective version of Habegger's result.
