Abstract

The asymptotic study of class numbers of binary quadratic forms is a foundational problem in arithmetic statistics. In this talk, we investigate finer statistics of class numbers by studying their self-correlations under additive shifts. This is made possible by developing the theory of shifted convolution Dirichlet series attached to mock modular forms.
