Which quaternary quadratic form represents $n$ the greatest number of times?
Let $Q$ be a four-variable positive-definite quadratic form with integer coefficients and let $r_{Q}(n)$ be the number of representations of $n$ by $Q$. The theory of modular forms explains how $r_{Q}(...

On Siegel mass formula
I have asked this question exactly here. The question is as follows:
I am interested deeply in the following problem:
Let $f$ be a (fixed) positive definite quadratic form; and let $n$ be an ...

Siegel's formula for generalized theta series with characteristics?
Siegel's formula(Siegel-Weil) directly relates the weighted sum of theta functions to Eisenstein series. (Or equivalently, the weighted sum of the cusp form is zero). I wonder if there is a ...

Mock modular forms and (indefinite) quadratic forms
Define the function
$$f(q,z,y) = \sum_{n \ge 0,m,l} c(n,m,l) q^n z^m y^l$$
where $c(n,m,l)$ is defined by
$$ c(n,m,l) =
\begin{cases}
(-1)^{s+l} & \text{if } 4n - m^2 + l^2 = 2s(s+1)\\
