Abstract
We introduce a ``vector valued'' version of special cycles on GSpin Rapoport--Zink spaces with almost self-dual level in the context of the Kudla program, with certain linear invariance and local modularity features. They are local analogs of special cycles on GSpin Shimura varieties with almost self-dual parahoric level (e.g. Siegel threefolds with paramodular level). We establish local arithmetic Siegel--Weil formulas relating arithmetic intersection numbers of these special cycles and derivatives of certain local Whittaker functions in any dimension. The proof is based on a reduction formula for cyclic quadratic lattices.
