Isogeny orbits in a family of abelian varieties. (English) Zbl 1382.11045

Summary: We prove that if a curve of a nonisotrivial family of abelian varieties over a curve contains infinitely many isogeny orbits of a finitely generated subgroup of a simple abelian variety, then it is either torsion or contained in a fiber. This result fits into the context of the Zilber-Pink conjecture. Moreover, by using the polyhedral reduction theory we give a new proof of a result of D. Bertrand [Duke Math. J. 80, No. 1, 223–250 (1995; Zbl 0847.11036)].
