Abstract

A deep conjecture on torsion anomalous varieties states that if VV is a weak-transverse variety in an abelian variety, then the complement VtaV^{ta} of all VV-torsion anomalous varieties is open and dense in VV. We prove some cases of this conjecture. We show that the VV-torsion anomalous varieties of relative codimension one are non-dense in any weak-transverse variety VV embedded in a product of elliptic curves with CM. We give explicit uniform bounds in the dependence on VV. As an immediate consequence we prove the conjecture for VV of codimension two in a product of CM elliptic curves. We also point out some implications on the effective Mordell-Lang Conjecture.
