Representations of affine superalgebras and mock theta functions


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We show that the normalized supercharacters of principal admissible modules over the affine Lie superalgebra $hat{sell}_{2|1}$ (resp. $hat{psell}_{2|2}$) can be modified, using Zwegers real analytic corrections, to form a modular (resp. $S$-) invariant family of functions. Applying the quantum Hamiltonian reduction, this leads to a new family of positive energy modules over the N=2 (resp. N=4) superconformal algebras with central charge $3(1-frac{2m+2}{M})$, where $m in mathbb{Z}_{geq 0}$, $Min mathbb{Z}_{geq 2}$, $gcd(2m+2,M)=1$ if $m>0$ (resp. $6(frac{m}{M}-1)$, where $m in mathbb{Z}_{geq 1}, Min mathbb{Z}_{geq 2}$, $gcd(2m,M)=1$ if $m>1$), whose modified characters and supercharacters form a modular invariant family.
