The Manin-Mumford conjecture, which is a theorem of Raynaud, states that a curve of genus at least 2 in an abelian variety contains only finitely many torsion points. Analogues of this, such as the André-Oort and Zilber-Pink conjectures, have been stated for Shimura varieties in place of abelian varieties. In their most general form these imply many Diophantine results such as the Mordell-Lang conjecture. In this talk I will outline these conjectures and discuss one method of attacking them, due to Pila and Zannier and using results from model theory. In particular I will apply this method to a problem about curves in the moduli space of principally polarised abelian varieties.
