We study special cycles on integral models of Shimura varieties associated with unitary similitude groups of signature (n.1, 1).We construct an arithmetic theta lift from harmonic Maass forms of weight 2 . n to the arithmetic Chow group of the integral model of a unitary Shimura variety, by associating to a harmonic Maass form f a linear combination of Kudla– Rapoport divisors, equipped with the Green function given by the regularized theta lift of f . Our main result is an equality of two complex numbers: (1) the height pairing of the arithmetic theta lift of f against a CM cycle, and (2) the central derivative of the convolution L-function of a weight n cusp form (depending on f ) and the theta function of a positive definite hermitian lattice of rank n − 1. When specialized to the case n = 2, this result can be viewed as a variant of the Gross–Zagier formula for Shimura curves associated to unitary groups of signature (1, 1). The proof relies on, among other things, a new method for computing improper arithmetic intersections.
