Abstract

Recently, Bruinier and Ono proved that the coefficients of certain weight -1/2 harmonic weak Maa{\ss} forms are given as "traces" of singular moduli for harmonic weak Maa{\ss} forms. Here, we prove that similar results hold for the coefficients of harmonic weak Maa{\ss} forms of weight 3/2+k3/2+k, kk even, and weight 1/2k1/2-k, kk odd, by extending the theta lift of Bruinier-Funke and Bruinier-Ono. Moreover, we generalize their result to include \textit{twisted} traces of singular moduli using earlier work of the author and Ehlen. Employing a duality result between weight kk and 2k2-k, we are able to cover all half-integral weights. We also show that the non-holomorphic part of the theta lift in weight 1/2k1/2-k, kk odd, is connected to the vanishing of the special value of the LL-function of a certain derivative of the lifted function.
