Greer–Lian's modularity conjecture for special cycles on Siegel modular varieties

Let An=Sp2n(Z)\Hn\mathcal A_n=\operatorname{Sp}_{2n}(\mathbb Z)\backslash\mathbb H_n be the Siegel modular variety, and let λi=ci(E)\lambda_i=c_i(\mathbb E) be the Chern classes of the Hodge bundle. For m1m\geq1, let Z(m)\mathcal Z(m) be the special cycle of principally polarized abelian varieties admitting an elliptic curve as an isogeny factor, with the multiplicities described in the source, and define

ΘAn(q)=(1)n24λn1+m1[Z(m)]qmCHn1(An)q.\Theta_{\mathcal A_n}(q)=\frac{(-1)^n}{24}\lambda_{n-1}+\sum_{m\geq1}[\mathcal Z(m)]q^m\in\operatorname{CH}^{n-1}(\mathcal A_n)\llbracket q\rrbracket.

Greer–Lian's modularity conjecture. The series ΘAn(q)\Theta_{\mathcal A_n}(q) is a holomorphic modular form of weight 2n2n for SL2(Z)\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb Z), valued in CHn1(An)\operatorname{CH}^{n-1}(\mathcal A_n). The conjecture proposes Chow-valued modularity for the elliptic-factor special cycles on Siegel modular varieties.
