摘要

Let \(-D\) - D be a fundamental discriminant. We express the number of representations of an integer by a positive definite binary quadratic form of discriminant \(-D\) - D with an odd class number \(h(-D)\) h ( - D ) as a rational linear expression involving the Kronecker symbol and the Fourier coefficients of certain cusp forms. We prove these cusp forms have eta quotient representations only if \(D=23\) D = 23 . This provides, using theta functions, a generalization of a result of F. van der Blij from 1952 for binary quadratic forms of discriminant \(-23\) - 23 to the case of forms of discriminant \(-D\) - D with odd \(h(-D)\) h ( - D ) . We also classify all the eta quotients of prime level D which are half the difference of two theta functions of level D.
