2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/123320We revisit old conjectures of Fermat and Euler regarding representation of integers by binary quadratic form x^2+5y^2. Making use of Ramanujan's_1ψ_1 summation formula we establish a new Lambert series identity for \sum_{n,m=-\infty}^{\infty} q^{n^2+5m^2}. Conjectures of Fermat and Euler are shown to follow easily from this new formula. But we don't stop there. Employing various formulas found in Ramanujan's notebooks and using a bit of ingenuity we obtaina collection of new Lambert series for certain infinite products associated with quadratic forms such as x^2+6y^2, 2x^2+3y^2, x^2+15y^2, 3x^2+5y^2, x^2+27y^2, x^2+5(y^2+ z^2+ w^2), 5x^2+y^2+ z^2+ w^2. In the process, we find many new multiplicative eta-quotients and determine their coefficients.26 pages, no figures, fun to readNumber TheoryCombinatorics11E16, 11E25, 11F27, 11F30; 05A19, 05A30, 11R29Ramanujan's Identities and Representation of Integers by Certain Binary and Quaternary Quadratic Formstext
