Abstract
We prove that, over an arbitrary CM field, every symmetric formal Fourier-Jacobi series converges and equals the Fourier-Jacobi expansion of a genuine Hermitian Hilbert modular form. As an application, we show that the Chow-valued Kudla generating series of special cycles on unitary Shimura varieties for Hermitian lattices over CM fields of signature at one infinite place and at all others is modular of weight for a Weil representation, establishing the geometric unitary Kudla Conjecture in arbitrary codimension. This removes the modularity hypothesis from the arithmetic inner product formula by Li-Liu.
