Hurwitz class number relations and mock modular forms

Abstract: A classical class number relation of Hurwitz expresses the Fourier coefficients of the product of a unary theta function and the class number generating function. Here, we establish an infinite family of analogous class number relations obtained by replacing the unary quadratic form $m<sup>2$ by positive-definite binary quadratic forms. These identities involve Cohen's generalized class numbers and depend only on the genus of the underlying quadratic form. For this, we construct a genus-dependent level-lowering operator.
