New polar-finite forms of generalized Euler identities for $A_{1}^{(1)}$-string functions and mock theta conjecture-like identities
Abstract
Determining the explicit forms and modularity for string functions and branching coefficients for Kac--Moody algebras after Kac, Peterson, and Wakimoto is an important problem. For positive admissible-level string functions for the affine Kac--Moody algebra , very little is known. Here we apply the notion of quasi-periodicity to a generalized Euler identity of Schilling and Warnaar for the affine Kac--Moody algebra . For integral-level string functions the classical periodicity reduces the infinite sum of string functions in the generalized Euler identity to a finite sum of string functions with theta function coefficients. For admissible-level, we similarly reduce to an analogous finite sum of string functions, but we also gain an additional finite sum of the form \begin{equation*} \sum_{i}\Phi_{i}(q)\Psi_{i}(q), \end{equation*} where the 's are modular and depend only on the spin and the 's are (mixed) mock modular Hecke-type double-sums and depend only on the quantum number. For levels , , and , we shall also see that the 's give us families of mock theta conjecture-like identities for symmetric Hecke-type double-sums. Our work here focuses on evaluating the 's, and our expressions utilize Ramanujan's second-order mock theta function and third-order mock theta functions , , , and .
