Abstract
We state and prove an identity which connects theta series associated with binary quadratic forms of idoneal discriminants and , for a prime. Employing this identity, we extend the results of Toh by writing the theta series of forms of discriminant as a linear combination of Lambert series. We then use these Lambert series decompositions to give explicit representation formulas for the forms of discriminant . Lastly, we give a generalization of our main identity, which employs a map of Buell to connect forms of discriminant to . Our generalized identity links theta series associated with a single form of discriminant to a theta series associated with forms of discriminant , where and are no longer required to be idoneal.
