Weight $1/2$ multiplier systems for the group $\Gamma_0^+(p)$ and a geometric formulation

We construct a weight $1/2$ multiplier system for the group $\Gamma_0^+(p)$, the normalizer of the congruence subgroup $\Gamma_0(p)$ where $p$ is an odd prime, and we define an analogue of the eta function and Rademacher symbol and relate it to the geometry of edge paths in a triangulation of the upper half plane.
