Modularity conjecture for higher Heegner cycles

About 8 years old · traced to

Let X=X0(N)X=X_0(N), let Y\mathcal{Y} be the Kuga–Sato variety, and let

ϕκ=∑m>0, μZκ(m,μ)qmeμ.\phi_\kappa=\sum_{m>0,\,\mu}Z_\kappa(m,\mu)q^me_\mu.

Let G∈S2κ(Γ0(N))G\in S_{2\kappa}(\Gamma_0(N)) be a normalized newform, let g∈S1/2+κ,ρLg\in S_{1/2+\kappa,\rho_L} be the newform corresponding to GG under the Shimura correspondence, and let f∈H3/2−κ,ρˉLf\in H_{3/2-\kappa,\bar\rho_L} satisfy

ξ3/2−κ(f)=1⟨g,g⟩Pet⁡g.\xi_{3/2-\kappa}(f)=\frac{1}{\langle g,g\rangle_{\operatorname{Pet}}}g.

Modularity conjecture. The function

ϕκ∈CH⁡κ(Y)⊗S1/2+κ,ρL\phi_\kappa\in \operatorname{CH}^{\kappa}(\mathcal{Y})\otimes S_{1/2+\kappa,\rho_L}

is a cusp form, where CH⁡κ(Y)\operatorname{CH}^{\kappa}(\mathcal{Y}) is the codimension-κ\kappa Chow group, and its GG-component is

ϕκG=g(τ)⊗Zκ(f).\phi_\kappa^G=g(\tau)\otimes Z_\kappa(f).

For κ=1\kappa=1, modularity of Heegner divisors is known by work of Gross, Kohnen and Zagier, Borcherds, and Bruinier and Ono. The corresponding arithmetic generating function is also expected to be modular, while the stated Chow-valued conjecture is established after replacing the Chow group by the algebraic Heegner-cycle quotient.
