Abstract

We show that all triples (x1,x2,x3) of singular moduli satisfying x1x2x3 as× are "trivial". That is, either x1,x2,x3 as; some xi as and the remaining xj,xk are distinct, of degree 2, and conjugate over as; or x1,x2,x3 are pairwise distinct, of degree 3, and conjugate over as. This theorem is best possible and is the natural three-dimensional analogue of a result of Bilu, Luca and Pizarro-Madariaga in two dimensions. It establishes an explicit version of the André-Oort conjecture for the family of subvarieties Vα as' a'3 defined by an equation x1x2x3 = α as.
