Abstract

In 2013, Lemke Oliver classified all eta-quotients which are theta functions. In this paper, we unify the eta–theta functions by constructing mock modular forms from the eta–theta functions with even characters, such that the shadows of these mock modular forms are given by the eta–theta functions with odd characters. In addition, we prove that our mock modular forms are quantum modular forms. As corollaries, we establish simple finite hypergeometric expressions which may be used to evaluate Eichler integrals of the odd eta–theta functions, as well as some curious algebraic identities.
