$x^2+7y^2=2^n$ and sums of four squares
Lagrange's four square theorem states that each $m\in\mathbb N=\{0,1,2,\ldots\}$ can be written as a sum of four squares.
Recently, I found that the diophantine equation $x^2+7y^2=2^n$ has certain ...

Representations by positive definite binary quadratic forms
It's known that the number of representations of an integer $k$ by sum of two squares is
$$
4\;\sum_{d|k}\left(\frac{-4}{d}\right)
$$
or
$$
4\sum_{d|k,\; d \textrm{ odd}} (-1)^{\frac{d-1}{2}}= 4(d_1(k)...
