Abstract
This corrigendum serves to correct the article [1, Theorem 1.1]. In doing so, we correct the proof and statement of Theorem 3.7, and see that one may disregard Proposition 3.4, Lemma 3.5 and Proposition 3.6.

1 Corrigendum to: J. Males Res. Number Theory (2020) 6:15 https://doi.org/10.1007/s40993-020-0190-x
This corrigendum deals with two issues in the article [1] kindly pointed out to the author by S. Zwegers. There is an error that occurs in the use of the integrals \(G^+\) and \(G^-\), and another in the treatment of the functions \(g_{m,j}\) for \(j=1,2,3\) where exponential growth should occur. Overall, these do not greatly impact the main results of the paper. In particular, Theorem 1.1 holds up to slight changes in constants and the correct version is stated as follows.
Theorem 1.1
For \(\beta :=\pi \sqrt{\frac{2}{n}}\) and \(|m| \le \frac{1}{6 \beta } \log (n)\) we have that
as \(n \rightarrow \infty \). Here, \(\delta :=1\) if \(m <0\) and \(\delta = 0\) otherwise.
In the paper, it is claimed that \(G^+ = G^-\), which gives rise to the residue term. However, this is not the case. In fact, \(G^+ = -G^-\), and so the final term appearing in equation (3.1) vanishes. Instead, we have that
which can be easily seen by mapping \(z \mapsto 1-z\) on the path of integration. One does not require the limit as \(a \rightarrow 0^+\), as the integrand is well-defined for all \(z \in [0,\frac{1}{2}]\).
Instead of the functions \(g_{m,j}\), now one uses Lemma 3.1, which gives the asymptotic behaviour of f for \(0< z < \frac{1}{2}\). With this in hand, evaluating the \(\sinh \) functions clearly shows that we have
Plugging in the formulae for the \(\sinh \) functions and integrating explicitly, using the formula
shows directly that
This replaces the statement given in Theorem 3.7. One then no longer requires the integrals \(g_{m,j}\) for \(j=1,2,3\), and as such can disregard Proposition 3.4, Lemma 3.5 and Proposition 3.6. The subsequent results in the paper hold, and in particular the main contribution to asymptotics is still given by the function at the dominant pole \(q=1\).
Tracing the changes in constants to the use of the circle method yields Theorem 1.1.
