Abstract

At scattered places in his first notebook, Ramanujan recorded the values for 107 class invariants or irreducible monic polynomials satisfied by them. On pages 294-299 in his second notebook, he gave a table of values for 77 class invariants GnG_n and gng_n in his second notebook. Traditionally, GnG_n is determined for odd values of nn and gng_n for even values of nn. On pages 338 and 339 in his first notebook, Ramanujan defined the remarkable product of theta-functions am,na_{m, n}. Also, he recorded eighteen explicit values depending on two parameters, namely, mm, and nn, where these are odd integers. In this paper, we initiate to study explicit evaluations of GnG_n for even values of nn. We establish a new general formula for the explicit evaluations of GnG_n involving class invariant gng_n. For this purpose, we derive a new P-Q modular equation of degree two. Further application of this modular equation, we establish a new formula to explicit evaluation of am,2a_{m, 2}. Also, we compute several explicit values of class invariant gng_{n} and singular moduli αn\alpha_n.
