Conjectural Whittaker formula for mixed special-cycle intersections

Let 0h2n0\leq h\leq 2n, and let x1,,x2nh,y1,,yhVx_1,\dots,x_{2n-h},y_1,\dots,y_h\in {\mathbb V} be the special homomorphisms defining cycles Z(xi){\mathcal Z}(x_i) and Y(yj){\mathcal Y}(y_j). Let BB be their (2n)×(2n)(2n)\times(2n) hermitian Gram matrix, let Wh,t(B,0)W_{h,t}(B,0) be the local Whittaker functions attached to the relevant Siegel–Weil sections, let βih\beta_i^h be the constants defined by the preceding linear relation, and set An=diag(1n,π11n)A_n=\operatorname{diag}(1_n,\pi^{-1}1_n). Mixed special-cycle intersection conjecture. The arithmetic intersection number satisfies

Z(x1),,Z(x2nh),Y(y1),,Y(yh)=1Wn,n(An,0){Wh,n(B,0)0in1βihWh,i(B,0)}.\left\langle {\mathcal Z}(x_1),\dots,{\mathcal Z}(x_{2n-h}),{\mathcal Y}(y_1),\dots,{\mathcal Y}(y_h)\right\rangle=\frac{1}{W_{n,n}(A_n,0)}\left\{W'_{h,n}(B,0)-\sum_{0\leq i\leq n-1}\beta_i^hW_{h,i}(B,0)\right\}.

This extends the Kudla–Rapoport formula to arbitrary mixtures of Z{\mathcal Z}- and Y{\mathcal Y}-cycles. The source proves the case n=1n=1, while the general formula is presented as a conjecture.
