The author gives generalizations of Euler's pentagonal number theorem. He proves the following Eisenstein series formulas: \[ \sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\left(\sigma(3k+1)x^{3k+1}-\sigma (3k+2)x^{3k+2}\right)=x\prod_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{(1-x^n)^3 (1-x^{9n})^3}{(1-x^{3n})^2}, \] \[ \frac15-\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \widetilde{\sigma}(n)x^n=\frac{1}{5}\prod_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{(1-x^n)^5}{(1-x^{5n})}, \] where \(\sigma(n):=\sum_{1\leq d \mid n}d\) and \(\widetilde{\sigma}(n)=\sum_{1\leq d\mid n}(\frac {d}{5})d\). Finally partition-theoretic analogues of Euler's pentagonal number theorem determining the difference between the number of partitions of an integer \(n\) into an even number of distinct parts and an odd number of distinct parts are stated. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0878.00056].
