Local Maa{\ss} forms and Eichler--Selberg type relations for negative weight vector-valued mock modular forms

Abstract

By comparing two different evaluations of a modified (\`{a} la Borcherds) higher Siegel theta lift on even lattices of signature $(r,s)$, we prove Eichler--Selberg type relations for a wide class of negative weight vector-valued mock modular forms. In doing so, we detail several properties of the lift, as well as showing that it produces an infinite family of local (and locally harmonic) Maa{\ss} forms on Grassmanians in certain signatures.
