Abstract
Let where is the Dedekind eta-function. We show that if is an imaginary quadratic number with and is an odd integer, then is an algebraic integer dividing . This is a generalization of Theorem 4.4 given in [B. C. Berndt, H. H. Chan and L. C. Zhang, Ramanujan's remarkable product of theta-functions, Proc. Edinburgh Math. Soc. (2) 40 (1997), no. 3, 583-612]. On the other hand, let be an imaginary quadratic field and be an element of with which generators the ring of integers of over . We develop a sufficient condition of for to become a unit.
