Abstract The André-Oort conjecture is a problem in algebraic geometry from around 1990, with arithmetic,
analytic and differential geometric aspects. Klingler, Ullmo and Yafaev, as well as Pila and Tsimerman have now shown that the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis implies the Andr´e-Oort conjecture. Both proofs appeared in the Annals ofMathematics in 2014. In this article Bas Edixhoven and Lenny Taelman describe the conjecture and these recent solutions.
