We revisit old conjectures of Fermat and Euler regarding the representation of integers by binary quadratic formx2+5y2. Making use of Ramanujan’s1ψ1summation formula, we establish a new Lambert series identity for. Conjectures of Fermat and Euler are shown to follow easily from this new formula. But we do not stop there. Employing various formulas found in Ramanujan’s notebooks and using a bit of ingenuity, we obtain a collection of new Lambert series for certain infinite products associated with quadratic forms such asx2+6y2, 2x2+3y2,x2+15y2, 3x2+5y2,x2+27y2,x2+5(y2+z2+w2), 5x2+y2+z2+w2. In the process, we find many new multiplicativeeta-quotients and determine their coefficients.
