Modular forms of half-integral weight are of intrinsic interest: many of the functions of classical number theory transform under a matrix group with half-integral weight. The aim of this paper is to refine some results and techniques which have been introduced to study these functions and the arithmetic information which they contain.

The notion of quadratic congruences was introduced in the recently published paper [A. Balog, H. Darmon and K. Ono, Congruences for Fourier coefficients of half-integral weight modular forms and special values of L-functions, in Analytic Number Theory, Vol. 1, Progr. Math.138 (Birkhäuser, Boston, 1996), 105–128.]. In this note we present different, somewhat more conceptual proofs of several results from that paper. Our method allows us to refine the notion and to generalize the results quoted. Here we deal only with the quadratic congruences for Cohen–Eisenstein series. Similar phenomena exist for cusp forms of half-integral weight as well; however, as one would expect, in the case of Eisenstein series the argument is much simpler. In particular, we do not make use of techniques other than p-adic Mazur measure, whereas the consideration of cusp forms of half-integral weight involves a much more sophisticated construction. Moreover, in the case of Cohen–Eisenstein series we are able to obtain a full and exhaustive result. For these reasons we present the argument here.

We extend results of Bringmann and Ono that relate certain generalized traces of Maass–Poincaré series to Fourier coefficients of modular forms of half-integral weight. By specializing to cases in which these traces are usual traces of algebraic numbers, we generalize results of Zagier describing arithmetic traces associated to modular forms. We define correspondences [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. We show that if f is a modular form of non-positive weight 2 - 2 λ and odd level N, holomorphic away from the cusp at infinity, then the traces of values at Heegner points of a certain iterated non-holomorphic derivative of f are equal to Fourier coefficients of the half-integral weight modular forms [Formula: see text].
