It was shown in previous work that the one-variable $\widehat\mu$-function defined by Zwegers (and Zagier) and his indefinite theta series attached to lattices of signature $(r\!+\!1,1)$ are both Heisenberg harmonic Maa\ss-Jacobi forms. We…

We find that re-analyzing the LEP/SLC data with light superpartners and low $\alpha_s(\mz^2)\simeq 0.112$ yields a better fit to the data than the Standard Model, giving a satisfactory description of the $R_b$ measurement, and a better fit…
