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).

Abstract Let 𝑚 ∈ ℕ, 𝑓 be a positive definite, integral, primitive, quaternary quadratic form of the determinant 𝑑 and let ρ(𝑓,𝑚) be the corresponding singular series. When studying the best estimates for ρ(𝑓,𝑚) with respect to 𝑑 and 𝑚 we proved in [Gogishvili, Trudy Tbiliss. Univ. 346: 72–77, 2004] that where 𝑏(𝑘) is the product of distinct prime factors of 16𝑘 if 𝑘 ≠ 1 and 𝑏(𝑘) = 3 if 𝑘 = 1. The present paper proves a more precise estimate where 𝑑 = 𝑑0𝑑1, if 𝑝 > 2; 𝑕(2) ⩾ –4. The last estimate for ρ(𝑓,𝑚) as a general result for quaternary quadratic forms of the above-mentioned type is unimprovable in a certain sense.

Projective and differential geometry are in close touch at two places, once because of the fundamental rôle played by a quaternary quadratic form in each,and again through the quadratic in six associated variables,where

Let [Formula: see text] We obtain the asymptotic formula [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] are two constants. This improves the previous error term [Formula: see text] obtained by the second author [An asymptotic formula related to the divisors of the quaternary quadratic form, Acta Arith. 166 (2014) 129–140].

Let [Formula: see text] be a positive definite (non-classic) integral quaternary quadratic form. We say [Formula: see text] is strongly[Formula: see text]-regular if it satisfies a strong regularity property on the number of representations of squares of integers. In this paper, we show that there are exactly [Formula: see text] strongly [Formula: see text]-regular diagonal quaternary quadratic forms representing [Formula: see text] (see Table [Formula: see text]). In particular, we use eta-quotients to prove the strong [Formula: see text]-regularity of the quaternary quadratic form [Formula: see text], which is, in fact, of class number [Formula: see text] (see Lemma 4.5 and Proposition 4.6).
