Abstract

We determine explicit formulas for the number of representations of a positive integer $n$ by quaternary quadratic forms with coefficients $1$, $2$, $5$ or $10$. We use a modular forms approach.

Keywords: quaternary quadratic forms, representations, theta functions, Dedekind eta function, eta quotients, modular forms, Eisenstein forms, cusp forms
