Let $V$ be quadratic space of even dimension and of signature $(p, q)$ with $p \geq q > 0$. We show that the Kudla-Millson lift of toric cycles - attached to algebraic tori - is a cusp form that is the diagonal restriction of a Hilbert modular form of parallel weight one. We deduce a formula relating the dimension of the span of such diagonal restrictions and the dimension of the span of toric and special cycles., Comment: v2: References added v3: We remove the unnecessary anisotropy condition for the quadratic space in section 5, that rendered Corollary 1.2.1 empty

A general conjecture of Harder relates the denominator of the Eisenstein cohomology of certain locally symmetric spaces to special values of $L$-functions. In this paper we consider the locally symmetric space $\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathcal{O}) \backslash \mathbb{H}_3$ where $\mathcal{O}$ is the ring of integers of an imaginary quadratic field $K$ and $\mathbb{H}_3$ is the hyperbolic $3$-space. Tobias Berger proves a lower bound on the denominator of the Eisenstein cohomology in certain cases. The goal of this paper is to show how results of Ito and Sczech can be used to prove an upper bound on the denominator in terms of a special value of a Hecke $L$-function. When the class number of $K$ is one, we combine this result with Berger's result to obtain the exact denominator., Comment: 44 pages, 6 figures, To appear in Annales de l'Institut Fourier

We characterize the boundedness properties on the spaces $L^p(\mathbb{H}^2)$ of the maximal operator $M_\mathcal{B}$ where $\mathcal{B}$ is an arbitrary family of hyperbolic triangles stable by isometries.

We consider the Kudla-Millson theta series associated to a quadratic space of signature $(N,N)$. By combining a `see-saw' argument with the Siegel-Weil formula, we show that its (regularized) integral along a torus attached to a totally real field of degree $N$ is the diagonal restriction of an Eisenstein series. It allows us to express the Fourier coefficients of the diagonal restriction as intersection numbers, which generalizes a result of Darmon-Pozzi-Vonk to totally real fields., Comment: 46 pages

In \cite{km2}, Kudla and Millson constructed a $q$-form $\varphi_{KM}$ on an orthogonal symmetric space using Howe's differential operators. It is a crucial ingredient in their theory of theta lifting. This form can be seen as a Thom form of a real oriented vector bundle. In \cite{mq} Mathai and Quillen constructed a {\em canonical} Thom form and we show how to recover the Kudla-Millson form via their construction. A similar result was obtained by \cite{garcia} for signature $(2,q)$ in case the symmetric space is hermitian and we extend it to an arbitrary signature., Comment: 26 pages
