A reformulation of the Siegel series and intersection numbers

In this paper, we will explain a conceptual reformulation and inductive formula of the Siegel series. Using this, we will explain that both sides of the local intersection multiplicities of [GK93] and the Siegel series have the same inherent structures, beyond matching values. As an application, we will prove a new identity between the intersection number of two modular correspondences over Fp and the sum of the Fourier coefficients of the Siegel-Eisenstein series for Sp_4 of weight 2, which is independent of p (> 2). In addition, we will explain a description of the local intersection multiplicities of the special cycles over F_p on the supersingular locus of the `special fiber' of the Shimura varieties for GSpin(n; 2), n<=3 in terms of the Siegel series directly.
