The CM points in a Shimura variety contain very important arithmetic information of the whole variety. The famous conjecture of André-Oort says that the Zariski closure of a family of CM points in a Shimura variety is in fact (a translation of) a subvariety of Hodge type. In this talk, we would like to say something about a variant of this conjecture mod a prime: take a p-power isogeny orbit C of a fixed CM abelian variety A, if A has superspecial reduction modulo a prime q, then a certain simultaneous reduction of elements in C (by action of a torus) is in fact surjective onto the set of all superspecial mod q abelian varieties. I will present these results and indicate the ideas of the proofs.
