We use the recent evaluation of certain convolution sums involving the sum of divisors function to determine the number of representations of a positive integer by certain diagonal octonary quadratic forms whose coefficients are 1, 2 or 4.

Abstract The convolution sum, $ \begin{array}{} \sum\limits_{{(l\, ,m)\in \mathbb{N}_{0}^{2}}\atop{\alpha \,l+\beta\, m=n}} \sigma(l)\sigma(m), \end{array} $ where αβ = 22, 44, 52, is evaluated for all natural numbers n. Modular forms are used to achieve these evaluations. Since the modular space of level 22 is contained in that of level 44, we almost completely use the basis elements of the modular space of level 44 to carry out the evaluation of the convolution sums for αβ = 22. We then use these convolution sums to determine formulae for the number of representations of a positive integer by the octonary quadratic forms $a\,(x_{1}^{2}+x_{2}^{2}+x_{3}^{2}+x_{4}^{2})+b\,(x_{5}^{2}+x_{6}^{2}+x_{7}^{2}+x_{8}^{2}),$ where (a, b) = (1, 11), (1, 13).

The generating functions of divisor functions are quasimodular forms of weight 2 and the product of them is a quasimodular form of higher weight. In this work, we evaluate the convolution sums [Formula: see text] for the positive integers [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] with lcm[Formula: see text]. We reprove the known formulas for the number of representations of a positive integer [Formula: see text] by each of the quadratic forms [Formula: see text] as an application of the new identities proved in this paper.

We evaluate the convolution sums ∑l,m∈ℕ,l+2m=n σ3(l)σ3(m), ∑l,m∈ℕ,l+3m=n σ3(l) × σ3(m), ∑l,m∈ℕ,2l+3m=n σ3(l)σ3(m) and ∑l,m∈ℕ,l+6m=n σ3(l)σ3(m) for all n ∈ ℕ using the theory of modular forms and use these convolution sums to determine the number of representations of a positive integer n by the quadratic forms Q8 ⊕ Q8 and Q8 ⊕ 2Q8, where the quadratic form Q8 is given by [Formula: see text]

Abstract The article focuses on the evaluation of convolution sums $${W_k}(n): = \mathop \sum \nolimits_{_{m < {n \over k}}} \sigma (m)\sigma (n - km)$$ involving the sum of divisor function $$\sigma (n)$$ for k =21, 33, and 35. In this article, our aim is to obtain certain Eisenstein series of level 21 and use them to evaluate the convolution sums for level 21. We also make use of the existing Eisenstein series identities for level 33 and 35 in evaluating the convolution sums for level 33 and 35. Most of the convolution sums were evaluated using the theory of modular forms, whereas we have devised a technique which is free from the theory of modular forms. As an application, we determine a formula for the number of representations of a positive integer n by the octonary quadratic form $$(x_1^2 + {x_1}{x_2} + ax_2^2 + x_3^2 + {x_3}{x_4} + ax_4^2) + b(x_5^2 + {x_5}{x_6} + ax_6^2 + x_7^2 + {x_7}{x_8} + ax_8^2)$$ , for (a, b)=(1, 7), (1, 11), (2, 3), and (2, 5).

AbstractGenerating functions are used to derive formulas for the number of representations of a positive integer by each of the quadratic forms x12+x22+x32+2x42, x12+2x22+2x32+2x42, x12+x22+2x32+4x42 and x12+2x22+4x32+4x42. The formulas show that the number of representations by each form is always positive. Some of the analogous results involving sums of triangular numbers are also given.

For every positive integer [Formula: see text], it is shown that there exists a positive definite diagonal quaternary integral quadratic form that represents all positive integers except for precisely those which lie in [Formula: see text] arithmetic progressions. For [Formula: see text], all forms with this property are determined.

Suppose that p is an odd prime and d is a positive integer. Let x and y be integers given by p = x2+dy2 or 4p = x2+dy2. In this paper we determine x( mod p) for many values of d. For example, [Formula: see text] where x is chosen so that x ≡ 1 ( mod 3). We also pose some conjectures on supercongruences modulo p2 concerning binary quadratic forms.

In his lecture notes ([1, pp. 33-35], [2, pp. 145-152]), M.
