With applications in the Kudla program in mind we employ singular theta lifts for the reductive dual pair $ \mathrm {U}(p,q)\times \mathrm {U}(1,1)$ to construct two different kinds of Green forms for codimension $ q$-cycles in Shimura varieties asso...

In this paper we construct indefinite theta series for lattices of arbitrary signature as ‘incomplete’ theta integrals, that is, by integrating the theta forms constructed by the second author with J. Millson over certain singular -chains in the asso... Read More about On some incomplete theta integrals.

Modularity of generating series of winding numbers (2018)
Journal Article

The Shimura correspondence connects modular forms of integral weights and half-integral weights. One of the directions is realized by the Shintani lift, where the inputs are holomorphic differentials and the outputs are holomorphic modular forms of h...

In this paper, we use regularized theta liftings to construct weak Maass forms of weight 1/2 as lifts of weak Maass forms of weight 0. As a special case we give a new proof of some of recent results of Duke, Toth and the third author on cycle integra... Read More about Regularized theta liftings and periods of modular functions.
