In Glaisher (1907) denoted by gamma(m) defined in section 63 on page 38.
Ramanujan theta functions: f(q) (see A121373), phi(q) (A000122), psi(q) (A010054), chi(q) (A000700).
In Chan and Combes (2024) page 2 is g(z) = eta(z)^8 eta(4z)^4 + 8 eta(4z)^12 identified as the unique newform of weight 6 and level 8 with LMFDB label 8.6.a.a. - Michael Somos, Jun 25 2025

FORMULA
Expansion of (psi(x) * phi(-x^2)^2)^4 + 16 * x * (psi(x) * psi(-x)^2)^4 in powers of x where phi(), psi() are Ramanujan theta functions.
Expansion of (phi(x)^8 - 256 * x^2 * psi(x^2)^8) * psi(x)^4 in powers of x where phi(), psi() are Ramanujan theta functions. - Michael Somos, Jul 20 2013
Expansion of q^(-1/2) * (eta(q)^12 + 32 * q * eta(q)^4 * eta(q^4)^8) in powers of q.
Expansion of q^(-1) * eta(q^4)^4 * (eta(q)^8 + 8 * eta(q^4)^8) in power of q^2. - Michael Somos, Jun 25 2025
G.f. is a period 1 Fourier series which satisfies f(-1/(8*t)) = 512 * (t/i)^6 * f(t) where q = exp(2*Pi*i*t).
a(n) = b(2*n + 1) where b(n) is multiplicative with b(2^e) = 0^e, b(p^e) = b(p) * b(p^(e-1)) - p^5 * b(p^(e-2)) if p > 2.
G.f.: Product_{k>0} (1 - x^k)^12 + 32 * x * (Product_{k>0} (1 - x^k) * (1 - x^(4*k))^2)^4.
Empirical: Sum_{n>=0} a(n) / exp(n*Pi) = (3/32) * exp(Pi / 2) * Pi^3 * sqrt(2) / Gamma(3/4)^12 = A388785. - Simon Plouffe, Sep 18 2025

G.f. = q + 20*q^3 - 74*q^5 - 24*q^7 + 157*q^9 + 124*q^11 + 478*q^13 - 1480*q^15 + ...
