 Character theta transformation

For a primitive Dirichlet character modulo $N>1$ of parity $a\in \{0,1\}$, put ${\Theta }_{\chi }(\tau )={\sum }_n{n}^a\chi (n)e^{\pi i{n}^2\tau }$, extending the character by zero on nonunits. The square root is analytic with positive value when $-i\tau$ is positive real. Apply Poisson summation separately in each residue class modulo $N$, and use the finite Fourier transform of a primitive Dirichlet character. The Fourier transforms of $e^{\pi i\tau x^2}$ and $x{e}^{\pi i\tau x^2}$ are $(-i\tau {)}^{-1/2}{e}^{-\pi i{t}^2/\tau }$ and $(t/\tau )(-i\tau {)}^{-1/2}{e}^{-\pi i{t}^2/\tau }$. These give the formula, including its odd-character phase.
