Co-rank $1$ Arithmetic Siegel--Weil III: Geometric local-to-global

This is the third in a sequence of four papers, where we prove the arithmetic Siegel–Weil formula in co-rank $1$ for Kudla–Rapoport special cycles on exotic smooth integral models of unitary Shimura varieties of arbitrarily large even arithmetic dimension. Our arithmetic Siegel–Weil formula implies that degrees of Kudla–Rapoport arithmetic special $1$-cycles are encoded in the first derivatives of unitary Eisenstein series Fourier coefficients. In this paper, we finish the reduction process from global arithmetic intersection numbers for special cycles to the local geometric quantities in our companion papers. Building on our previous companion papers, we also propose a construction for arithmetic special cycle classes associated to possibly singular matrices of arbitrary co-rank.
