Congruences of Hurwitz class numbers on square classes
Journal article, 2022

We extend a holomorphic projection argument of our earlier work to prove a novel divisibility result for non-holomorphic congruences of Hurwitz class numbers. This result allows us to establish Ramanujan-type congruences for Hurwitz class numbers on square classes, where the holomorphic case parallels previous work by Radu on partition congruences. We offer two applications. The first application demonstrates common divisibility features of Ramanujan-type congruences for Hurwitz class numbers. The second application provides a dichotomy between congruences for class numbers of imaginary quadratic fields and Ramanujan-type congruences for Hurwitz class numbers.
