Abstract
Determining the explicit forms and modularity for string functions and branching coefficients for Kac--Moody algebras after Kac, Peterson, and Wakimoto is a long-standing, yet wide-open, problem and recently a connection has been made between positive admissible-level -string functions and Ramanujan's mock theta functions. In this paper we obtain the polar-finite decomposition for the admissible-level character of odd spin, and we also find new mock theta conjecture-like identities for the odd-spin, -level and -level -string functions.
