Modularity of Higher Theta Series III: Proof of the Modularity Conjecture
Abstract
We prove the Modularity Conjecture for higher theta series on moduli stacks of Hermitian shtukas. For general linear shtukas, we establish a more refined phenomenon that we call supermodularity. As a key input, we prove the Trace Conjecture for Hitchin stacks of low corank, realizing virtual fundamental classes of special cycles as categorical traces.
