Special Cases of the Shafarevich Conjecture for Complete Intersections in Abelian Varieties

Abstract

In this paper, we prove the Shafarevich conjecture for certain complete intersections of hypersurfaces in abelian varieties defined over a number field $K$ using the Lawrence-Venkatesh method. The main new inputs we need are computation of certain Euler characteristics of these complete intersections and a big monodromy statement for the variation of Hodge structure arising from the middle cohomology of a family of such complete intersections. Following \cite{ls25}, we prove the latter by relating this monodromy statement to a statement about Tannaka groups, which we then convert into a combinatorial statement.
