The Zilber—Pink conjecture describes the points on an algebraic variety which have 'special' properties. In this talk, I will discuss some new results which can be proved about this, focusing on the examples of subvarieties of a torus, an abelian variety, or a product of modular curves. The method of proof is a generalisation of the Buium—Coleman proof of the Manin—Mumford conjecture. Parts of this are joint work with Sudip Pandit (KCL) and with Arnab Saha (IIT Gandhinagar).
