The convolution sum \sum_{al+bm=n} \sigma(l) \sigma(m) for (a,b)=(1,28), (4,7), (1,14), (2,7), (1,7)

Publication date 13 February 2020

Abstract: We evaluate the convolution sum

d i s p l a y s t y l e W_{a, b} (n) := s u m_{a l + b m = n} h s p a c e - 3 m m s i g m a (l) s i g m a (m)

for

(a, b) = (1, 28), (4, 7), (2, 7)

for all positive integers

n

. We use a modular form approach. We also re-evaluate the known sums

W_{1, 14} (n)

and

W_{1, 7} (n)

with our method. We then use these evaluations to determine the number of representations of

n

by the octonary quadratic form

x_{1}^{2} + x_{2}^{2} + x_{3}^{2} + x_{4}^{2} + 7 (x_{5}^{2} + x_{6}^{2} + x_{7}^{2} + x_{8}^{2})

. Finally we compare our evaluations of the sums

W_{1, 7} (n)

and

W_{1, 14} (n)

with the evaluations of Lemire and Williams [10] and Royer [13] to express the modular forms

D e l t a_{4, 7} (z)

,

D e l t a_{4, 14, 1} (z)

and

D e l t a_{4, 14, 2} (z)

(given in [10, 13]) as linear combinations of eta quotients.
