Representations by quaternary quadratic forms whose coefficients are 1, 4, 9 and 36 (Q640034): Difference between revisions

As in her earlier work [``Representations by quaternary quadratic forms whose coefficients are \(1,3\) and \(9\)'', Acta Arith. 136, No. 2, 151--166 (2009; Zbl 1234.11045)] the author considers the problem of representations of positive integers by quaternary quadratic forms \(ax^{2}+by^{2}+cz^{2}+dt^{2}\) with \( a,b,c,d\in \{1,4,9,36\}\), \(\gcd (a,b,c,d)=1\) and \(a\leq b\leq c\leq d\). Set \[ \sigma (n)=\sum_{d\in \mathbb{N}, d\mid n} d \] for \(n\in \mathbb{N}\) and set \[ N(a,b,c,d;n)=\text{card}\{(x,y,z,t)\in \mathbb{Z}^{4}\mid ax^{2}+by^{2}+cz^{2}+dt^{2}=n \}, \] where \(n\in \mathbb{N}_{0}=\mathbb{N\cup }\{0\}\). Then she determines the quantities: \[ \begin{multlined} N(1,1,1,36;n),\quad N(1,1,4,9;n),\quad N(1,1,4,36;n),\quad N(1,1,9,36;n),\quad N(1,1,36,36;n),\\ N(1,4,4,9;n), \quad N(1,4,4,36;n), \quad N(1,4,9,9;n), \quad N(1,4,9,36;n), \quad N(1,4,36,36;n), \\ N(1,9,9,36;n), \quad N(1,9,36,36;n), \quad N(1,36,36,36;n), \quad N(4,4,4,9;n), \quad N(4,4,9,9;n), \\ N(4,4,9,36;n), \quad N(4,9,9,9;n), \quad N(4,9,9,36;n)\text{ and } N(4,9,36,36;n).\end{multlined} \] Also she derives some algebraic relations related to theta functions \[ L_{i,k}(q)=\sum_{_{\substack{ {n=1} \\ {n\equiv i\pmod k}}}}^{\infty }\sigma (n)q^{n} \text{ \;and \;}L(q)=1-24\sum_{n=1}^{\infty }\sigma (n)q^{n}, \] where \(k\in \mathbb{N}\), \(i\in \mathbb{N}_{0}\) such that \(0\leq i\leq k-1\).
