Ramanujan-Mordell type formulas associated to certain quadratic forms of discriminant \(20^k\) or \(32^k\) (Q2221084): Difference between revisions

The Ramanujan-Mordell formulas were associated to sums of \(2k\) squares, where \(\theta(\tau)^{2k}\) is of importance. Recently, \textit{S. Cooper} et al. [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 446, No. 1, 568--579 (2017; Zbl 1409.11029)] considered \((\theta(\tau)\theta(m\tau))^k\) associated to the \(2k\)-ary quadratic forms \[x^2_1+\cdots+ x^2_k+ m(x^2_{k+1}+\cdots+ x^2_{2k})\] and extended the Ramanujan-Mordell formula to this situation for \(m\in\{3,7,11,23\}\). Recently, \textit{D. Ye} [J. Number Theory 179, 50--64 (2017; Zbl 1418.11058)] considered \(m\in\{2,4\}\). The paper under review now considers \(m\in\{5,8\}\), whose associated quadratic forms are of discriminants \(20^k\) resp. \(32^k\).
