Ramanujan's continued fractions of order $10$ as modular functions
Abstract
We explore the modularity of the continued fractions and of order , where and are introduced by Rajkhowa and Saikia, which are special cases of certain identities of Ramanujan. In particular, we show that these fractions can be expressed in terms of an -quotient that generates the field of all modular functions on the congruence subgroup . Consequently, we prove that modular equations for and exist at any level and derive these equations of prime levels . We also show that the continued fractions of order can be explicitly evaluated using a singular value of , which under certain conditions, generates the Hilbert class field of an imaginary quadratic field. We employ the methods of Lee and Park to establish our results.
