Abstract: | Let S be a semi-integral, symmetric, positive-definite m x m matrix; m n 1. By the Siegel fundamental formula we mean the identity between the Siegel theta series of genus n, associated with the genus of the matrix S, and the correspond ing Eisenstein-Siegel series (C. L. Siegel, Lectures on the Analytical Theory of Quadratic Forms, 3rd rev. edition, Peppmüller, Göttingen, 1963). The validity of the mentioned formula for m/2 n+1 is an open problem in the general case. In this paper we prove Siegel's formula for n=2, m=6.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A.
