Abstract

We study modular invariance of normalized supercharacters of tame integrable modules over an affine Lie superalgebra, associated to an arbitrary basic Lie superalgebra g. \mathfrak{g}. For this we develop a several step modification process of multivariable mock theta functions, where at each step a Zwegers' type "modifier" is used. We show that the span of the resulting modified normalized supercharacters is SL2(Z) SL_2(\mathbb{Z}) -invariant, with the transformation matrix equal, in the case the Killing form on g\mathfrak{g} is non-degenerate, to that for the subalgebra g! \mathfrak{g}^! of g, \mathfrak{g}, orthogonal to a maximal isotropic set of roots of g. \mathfrak{g}.
