Abstract

Let rQ(n)r_Q(n) be the representation number of a nonnegative integer nn by the quaternary quadratic form Q=x12+2x22+x32+x42+x1x3+x1x4+x2x4Q=x_1^2+2x_2^2+x_3^2+x_4^2+x_1x_3+x_1x_4+x_2x_4. We first prove the identity rQ(p2n)=rQ(p2)rQ(n)/rQ(1)r_Q(p^2n)=r_Q(p^2)r_Q(n)/r_Q(1) for any prime pp different from 13 and any positive integer nn prime to pp, which was conjectured in [Eum et al, A modularity criterion for Klein forms, with an application to modular forms of level 13, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 375 (2011), 28--41]. And, we explicitly determine a concise formula for the number rQ(n2)r_Q(n^2) as well for any integer nn.
