How can one understand the Eisenstein series E2 in terms of automorphic representation?
Excellent question indeed. The quick answer is that $E_2(z)$ is an almost holomorphic modular form of weight $2$ and level $1$, so the automorphic representation generated by it is not irreducible. ...

Is there a similar formula like Ramanunjan's Eisenstein series identity for $\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}k^2 \sigma(k)\sigma(n-k)$?
All these identities can indeed be proved essentially trivially using modular forms and quasi-modular forms (those involving $E_2$), and the fact that the dimension
of such spaces is $1$ for weight 4,...

Numerical experiments suggest that
