Sums of squares and representations by other particular quadratic forms (11E25) Fourier coefficients of automorphic forms (11F30)

Abstract: For an even integer $k$, let $r_{2k}(n)$ be the number of representations of $n$ as a sum of $2k$ squares. The quantity $r_{2k}(n)$ is appoximated by the classical singular series $h{o}_{2k}(n)asymp{n}^{k-1}$. Deligne's bound on the Fourier coefficients of Hecke eigenforms gives that $r_{2k}(n)=h{o}_{2k}(n)+O(d(n)n^{frack-12})$. We determine the optimal implied constant in this estimate provided that either $k/2$ or $n$ is odd. The proof requires a delicate positivity argument involving Petersson inner products.
