  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p> In this paper, we use regularized theta liftings to construct weak Maass forms of weight 1/2 as lifts of weak Maass forms of weight 0. As a special case we give a new proof of some of recent results of Duke, Toth and the third author on cycle integrals of the modular <jats:italic>j</jats:italic>-invariant and extend these to any congruence subgroup. Moreover, our methods allow us to settle the open question of a geometric interpretation for periods of <jats:italic>j</jats:italic> along infinite geodesics in the upper half plane. In particular, we give the `central value' of the (non-existent) `<jats:italic>L</jats:italic>-function' for <jats:italic>j</jats:italic>. The key to the proofs is the construction of a kind of simultaneous Green function for both the CM points and the geodesic cycles, which is of independent interest. </jats:p>
