Abstract
We show that the normalized supercharacters of principal admissible modules over the affine Lie superalgebra (resp. ) can be modified, using Zwegers' real analytic corrections, to form a modular (resp. -) 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 , where , , if (resp. , where , if ), whose modified characters and supercharacters form a modular invariant family.
