Abstract (VO)
Résumé

We prove that there are at most finitely many complex $λ \neq 0, 1$ such that two points on the Legendre elliptic curve $Y^{2} = X (X - 1) (X - λ)$ with coordinates $X = 2$ and $X = 3$ both have finite order. This is a very special case of some well-known conjectures on unlikely intersections with varying semiabelian varieties.

Comme cas très spécial de certaines conjectures générales sur l'intersection d'une variété algébrique avec la réunion des sous-schémas de dimension fixée d'un schéma semi-abélien, nous montrons qu'il n'existe qu'un nombre fini de $λ \in C ∖ {0, 1}$ tels que les quatre points de la courbe elliptique $Y^{2} = X (X - 1) (X - λ)$ avec $X = 2$ et $X = 3$ soient d'ordre fini.
