We first investigate the relationship between the number of primitive representations
of
by quadratic forms and the number of nonprimitive ones. Recall that the
generating function for the number of representations is a modular form, which
naturally splits into an Eisenstein series, giving the main asymptotic contribution,
and a cusp form, contributing an error term. We hence obtain a theorem to
deal with the Eisenstein series part with quadratic Dirichlet character when
deriving the formula for the number of primitive representations of an integer
by
even-rank quadratic forms from the number of nonprimitive ones. Formulas for special
cases are given as examples.
