p =<br />

i, p ≡ 3 (mod 4)<br />

Since p ≡ 3 (mod 4), we know that ε p = i. From the definition <strong>of</strong> pr −ɛ , we have<br />

(37)<br />

(pr −ɛ f)(z) = 1 (−ɛih(z) + f(z))<br />

(1 − χ p (n)ɛ) a(n, y)q n ∈ H !,ɛ<br />

n∈Z<br />

Notice that the action V p produces an expansion with coefficients supported on multiples <strong>of</strong><br />

p. So if pr −ɛ (f) = 0, then a(n, y) = 0 whenever χ p (n) = −ɛ and f ∈ H !,ɛ<br />

1 (p) by definition.<br />

Conversely if f ∈ H !,ɛ<br />

1 (p), then<br />

pr −ɛ (f) ∈ H !,+<br />

1 (p) ∩ H !,−<br />

1 (p),<br />

which means the coefficients ξ 1 (pr −ɛ (f)) ∈ M ! 1(p) are supported on multiples <strong>of</strong> p. A lemma<br />

due to Hecke ([33, Lemma 6, p.32] ) implies that<br />

(38) M !,+<br />

1 (p) ∩ M !,−<br />

1 (p) = {0}.<br />

So ξ 1 (pr −ɛ (f)) = 0 and pr −ɛ (f) is holomorphic and also contained in M !,+<br />

1 (p) ∩ M !,−<br />

1 (p). By<br />

the same argument, pr −ɛ (f) vanishes. From this, we can deduce that H !,ɛ<br />

1 (p) is the eigenspace<br />

<strong>of</strong> iU p W p with eigenvalue ɛ, and pr ɛ restricted to H !,ɛ<br />

1 (p) is the identity. Using the relationship<br />

(f| 1 Wp 2 )(z) = −f(z), we can then deduce equation (34). It is easy to see that we have the<br />

following direct sum decomposition<br />

H 1(p) ! = H !,+<br />

1 (p) ⊕ H !,−<br />

1 (p)<br />

f = pr + (f) + pr − (f).<br />

Applying the same procedure to the harmonic Maass form associated to any mock-<strong>modular</strong><br />

form in M ! 1(p), we have the same decomposition <strong>of</strong> space<br />

M ! 1(p) = M !,+<br />

1 (p) ⊕ M !,−<br />

1 (p).<br />

The decomposition <strong>of</strong> the space H 1(p) ! above behaves well under the action <strong>of</strong> ξ 1 . By Theorem<br />

2.2, we can prove a statement about surjectivity <strong>of</strong> ξ 1 : H1(p) ɛ → S1 −ɛ (p). Furthermore,<br />

there is a nice characterization <strong>of</strong> the space S1(p) ɛ as a consequence <strong>of</strong> facts about <strong>weight</strong> <strong>one</strong><br />

<strong>modular</strong> <strong>forms</strong>.<br />

Lemma 3.3. For ɛ = ±1, we have a surjection<br />

(39) ξ 1 : H ɛ 1(p) → S −ɛ<br />

1 (p).<br />

In other words, for any g(z) ∈ S −ɛ<br />

1 (p), there exists a mock-<strong>modular</strong> form ˜g(z) ∈ M ɛ 1(p) whose<br />

shadow is g(z).<br />

In addition, S + 1 (p) contains all dihedral cusp <strong>forms</strong>. If there are 2d − non-dihedral <strong>forms</strong> in<br />

S 1 (p), then the spaces S + 1 (p) and S − 1 (p) have dimensions 1 2 (H(p)−1)+d − and d − respectively<br />

Pro<strong>of</strong>. By Theorem 2.2, the following map is surjective<br />

(40) ξ 1 : H 1 (p) → S −ɛ<br />

1 (p).<br />
