Abstract

In this note we extend integral weight harmonic Maass forms to functions defined on the upper and lower half-planes using the method of Poincaré series. This relates to Rademacher’s “expansion of zero” principle, which was recently employed by Rhoades to link mock theta functions and partial theta functions.
