On Shimura varieties of orthogonal type over totally real fields, we prove a product formula and the modularity of Kudla’s generating series of special cycles in Chow groups.

By applying the residue method for period integrals and Langlands-Shahidi’s theory for residues of Eisenstein series, we study the period integrals for six spherical varieties. For each spherical variety, we prove a relation between the period integrals and certain automorphic L-functions. In some cases, we also study the local multiplicity of the spherical varieties.

For an arbitrary nonempty, open set ^<i>n</i>, <i>n</i> of finite (Euclidean) volume, we consider the minimally defined higher-order Laplacian (-\Delta)^m|_{{C^\infty_0}(\Omega)}, <i>m</i> , and its Kreinvon Neumann extension <i>A</i>_{<i>K</i>,,<i>m</i>} in <i>L</i>²(). with <i>N</i>(, <i>A</i>_{<i>K</i>,,<i>m</i>)}, (-\Delta)^m|_{{C^\infty_0}(\Omega)}, denoting the eigenvalue counting function corresponding to the strictly positive eigenvalues of <i>A</i>_{<i>K</i>,,<i>m</i>}, we derive the bound <i>N</i>(, <i>A</i>_{<i>K</i>,,<i>m</i>}) (2<i></i>)^-<i>n</i><i></i>_n||{1 + [2<i>m</i>/(2<i>m</i> + <i>n</i>)]}^{<i>n</i>/(2<i>m</i>)}^{<i>n</i>/(2<i>m</i>)}, &gt; 0, where <i>_n</i> <i></i>^<i>n</i>/2 /((<i>n</i> + 2)/2) denotes the (Euclidean) volume of the unit ball in ^<i>n</i>.
