Abstract

For all natural numbers nn, we discuss the evaluation of the convolution sum, (l,m)N02αl+βm=nσ(l)σ(m)\underset{\substack{{(l,m) \in \mathbb{N}_0^2} \\ {\alpha\,l+\beta\,m=n} } }{\sum}\sigma(l)\sigma(m), where αβ=14,22,26\alpha\beta=14,22,26. We generalize the extraction of the convolution sum using Eisenstein forms of weight 44 for all pairs of positive integers (α,β)(\alpha,\beta). We also determine formulae for the number of representations of a positive integer by the octonary quadratic forms a(x12+x22+x32+x42)+b(x52+x62+x72+x82)a\,(x_1^2 + x_2^2 + x_3^2 + x_4^2)+ b\,(x_5^2 + x_6^2 + x_7^2 + x_8^2), where (a,b)=(1,1),(1,3),(2,3),(1,9)(a,b)= (1,1), (1,3), (2,3), (1,9). These numbers of representations of a positive integer are applications of the evaluation of certain convolution sums by J. G. Huard et al., A. Alaca et al. and D. Ye.
