1. Special cycles, modularity and arithmetic intersection
-
Problem 1.1.
[B. Howard] Is it possible to define a generating series of special cycles over Shimura varieties related to automorphic representations of higher weight? Do we have similar geometric/arithmetic modularity and Siegel-Weil formulas as in the Kudla program? -
Problem 1.2.
[Y. Luo, M. Mkrtchyan] Derived special cycles have been defined on integral models of certain Shimura varieties (resp. moduli of Shtukas) in recent works of Madapusi (resp. Feng-Yun-Zhang) in the good reduction case. Is it possible to extend their method and define derived special cycles in the bad reduction cases e.g. for some specific parahoric levels? -
Problem 1.3.
[Q. He, Z. Zhang] In recent proof of Kudla-Rapoport conjectures by Li–Zhang, numerical local modularity results for local Kudla–Rapoport divisors have been discovered and proved. Is it possible to formulate local modularity geometrically e.g. using moduli of p-adic Shtukas? Could the method of Feng-Yun-Zhang for global modularity be adapted to prove geometric local modularity? -
Problem 1.4.
[S. Leslie, Z. Yun] In the formulation of the arithmetic fundamental lemma, arithmetic intersection numbers are only formulated for regular semi-simple orbits because of proper intersections of cycles. Is it possible to define arithmetic intersection numbers in case of improper intersections of cycles (and formulate a similar analytic side)? -
Problem 1.5.
[M. Rapoport, Q. Li] In any arithmetic transfer conjectures, could we find perfect test transfer functions for (derived) orbital integrals to match arithmetic intersection numbers with no correction factors? -
Problem 1.6.
[M. Rapoport] In the recent work of Li–Rapoport–Zhang on arithmetic fundamental lemma conjecture for spherical Hecke algebras, there is a conjecture on commutativity of certain Hecke operators on Grothendieck groups of coherent sheaves on unitary Rapoport–Zink spaces. How to prove this conjecture?
