Abstract

This paper is a complement of the modularity result of Bruinier, Howard, Kudla, Rapoport and Yang (BHKRY) for the special case U(1,1)U(1,1) not considered there. The main idea to embed a U(1,1)U(1, 1) Shimura curve to many U(n1,1)U(n-1, 1) Shimura varieties for big nn, and prove a precise pullback formula of the generating series of arithmetic divisors. Afterwards, we use the modularity result of BHKRY together with existence of non-vanishing of classical theta series at any given point in the upper half plane to prove the modulartiy result on U(1,1)U(1, 1) Shimura curves.
