Abstract

We demonstrate how formulas that express Hecke-type double-sums in terms of theta functions and Appell--Lerch functions -- the building blocks of Ramanujan's mock theta functions -- can be used to give general string function formulas for the affine Lie algebra A1(1)A_{1}^{(1)} for levels N=1,2,3,4N=1,2,3,4.
