Abstract

While investigating the Doi-Naganuma lift, Zagier defined integral weight cusp forms fDf_D which are naturally defined in terms of binary quadratic forms of discriminant DD. It was later determined by Kohnen and Zagier that the generating function for the fDf_D is a half-integral weight cusp form. A natural preimage of fDf_D under a differential operator at the heart of the theory of harmonic weak Maass forms was determined by the first two authors and Kohnen. In this paper, we consider the modularity properties of the generating function of these preimages. We prove that although the generating function is not itelf modular, it can be naturally completed to obtain a half-integral weight modular object.
