Abstract

According to Waldspurger's theorem, the coefficients of half-integral weight eigenforms are given by central critical values of twisted Hecke L-functions, and therefore by periods. Here we prove that the coefficients of weight 1/2 harmonic Maass forms are determined by periods of algebraic differentials of the third kind on modular and elliptic curves.
