Arithmetic cycles and L-functions - Lecture 1
These lectures are intended as an introductory course on Kudla's program.
- Lecture 1 will focus on the origins of the theory: the work of Kudla-Millson on theta series valued in the cohomology of orthogonal symmetric spaces, at least in the case of orthogonal groups of signature (n, 2).
- Lecture 2 will focus on the work of Kudla Rapoport, Li-Zhang, and others on the arithmetic Siegel-Weil formula, relating algebraic cycles on unitary Shimura varieties to derivatives of Eisenstein series.
- Lecture 3 will focus on the work of Feng-Yun-Zhang on a higher derivative arithmetic Siegel-Weil formula on moduli spaces of unitary shtukas, and an extension of it that leads to a higher derivative Gross-Zagier style formulas over function fields.
