Modular Heights of Unitary Shimura Varieties II: Arithmetic Generating Series of Divisors

Abstract

This is the second of a series of three papers, in which we prove a formula expressing the modular height of a unitary Shimura variety over a CM number field in terms of the logarithmic derivative of the Hecke L-function associated with the CM extension. The main idea of our proof is to compare the holomorphic projection of the derivative of a certain mixed Eisenstein-theta series and the arithmetic degree of a generating series of divisors on unitary Shimura varieties. In this paper, we define the arithmetic generating series of divisors on unitary Shimura varieties, compute the corresponding arithmetic intersection numbers, and derive the modular height formula for unitary Shimura curves as well as the height formula for a CM point on them.

On the factorisation of the $p$-adic Rankin-Selberg $L$-function in the supersingular case

Given a cusp form $f$ which is supersingular at a fixed prime $p$ away from the level, and a Coleman family $F$ through one of its $p$-stabilisations, we construct a $2$-variable meromorphic $p$-adic $L$-function for the symmetric square of $F$. We prove that this new $p$-adic $L$-function interpolates values of complex imprimitive symmetric square $L$-functions, for the various specialisations of the family $F$. We use this $p$-adic $L$-function to prove a $p$-adic factorisation formula, expressing the geometric $p$-adic $L$-function attached to the Rankin--Selberg convolution of $f$ with itself as a the product of the $p$-adic symmetric square $L$-function of $f$ and a Kubota-Leopoldt $L$-function. This extends a result of Dasgupta in the ordinary case.

Exceptional poles of archimedean Rankin-Selberg L-functions for irreducible generic representations of GL(n,R)

For irreducible generic representations $π_1$ and $π_2$ of $\operatorname{GL}_n(\mathbb R)$, we prove that the notions of exceptional pole of type $1$ and type $2$ coincide at every level. When both representations are in general position, we use this identification to express the Rankin--Selberg $L$-function $L(s,π_1\timesπ_2)$ in terms of the exceptional $L$-factors attached to the irreducible constituents of their derivatives.
