Abstract

We prove a boundedness-theorem for families of abelian varieties with real multiplication. More generally, we study curves in Hilbert modular varieties from the point of view of the Green–Griffiths–Lang conjecture claiming that entire curves in complex projective varieties of general type should be contained in a proper subvariety. Using holomorphic foliations theory, we establish a Second Main Theorem following Nevanlinna theory. Finally, with a metric approach, we establish the strong Green–Griffiths–Lang conjecture for Hilbert modular varieties up to finitely many possible exceptions.
