Lefschetz decompositions of Kudla–Millson theta functions

Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 133, Issue 2, August 2026.
Abstract In the 1980s Kudla and Millson introduced a theta function in two variables. It behaves as a Siegel modular form with respect to the first variable, and is a closed differential form on an orthogonal Shimura variety X$X$ with respect to the other variable. We prove that the Lefschetz decomposition of the cohomology class of that theta function

Grammaticalisation and the internal logic of the indefinite article

Folia Linguistica, 2012
The West-European languages all develop an indefinite article by a grammaticalisation process of the numeral 'one'. The article describes the different outcomes of this process by distinguishing different patterns resulting from the interpretation of the numeral as a quantifier, a classifier or both.
