Pullback formulas for arithmetic cycles on orthogonal Shimura varieties

Benjamin Howard

Vol. 19 (2025), No. 8, 1495–1547
Abstract

On an orthogonal Shimura variety, one has a collection of arithmetic special cycles in the Gillet–Soulé arithmetic Chow group. We describe how these cycles behave under pullback to an embedded orthogonal Shimura variety of lower dimension. The bulk of the paper is devoted to cases in which the special cycles intersect the embedded Shimura variety improperly, which requires that we analyze logarithmic expansions of Green currents on the deformation to the normal bundle of the embedding.
