      In the paper under review, the authors show that the normalized supercharacters of principal admissible modules over the affine Lie superalgebras \(\widehat{sl}_{2|1}\) and \(\widehat{osp}_{3|2}\)) can be modified, using Zwegers' real analytic corrections or its variation, to form an \(\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})\)-invariant family of functions. Via quantum Hamiltonian reduction, this leads to new families of positive energy modules over the \(N=2\) and \(N=3\) superconformal algebras whose modified characters and supercharacters form an \(\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})\)-invariant family of functions.NEWLINENEWLINEFor Parts I and III see the authors [Transform.
