The Jacobi theta function can be defined as the sum of the series $\sum_{n\in \mathbb{Z}}q^{n^2}z^n$. The authors suggest a new vocabulary for Jacobi theta functions which they call spectral theta functions. They propose a way to compute the $N=2$ superconformal characters by means of a residue calculus on $\hat{sl}(2|1)$ affine Lie superalgebra characters in their non-trivial, i.e. non-unitary, cases. Thus all contents of well-known $\hat{sl}(2|1)$ characters can be uniquely translated to $N=2$ superconformal characters. The authors first establish a key spectral theta function's formula and then derive quasi-periodic and differentiation formulae for spectral theta functions. After this the algebraic characters in their non-unitary cases are used to consider a relation between these algebras.
