It is shown that Ramanujan's cubic transformation of the Gauss hypergeometric function ${}_2F_1$ arises from a relation between modular curves, namely the covering of $X_0(3)$ by $X_0(9)$. In general, when $2\le N\le 7$ the N-fold cover of…
In this paper, a generalization of Ramanujan's cubic transformation, in the form of an inequality, is proved for zero-balanced Gaussian hypergeometric function $F(a,b;a+b;x)$, $a,b>0$.

We call $R_G(a):=\sum_{q=1}^{\infty}G(q)c_q(a)$ the 'Ramanujan series', of coefficient $G:$N$\to$C, where $c_q(a)$ is the well-known Ramanujan sum. We study the convergence of this series (a preliminary step, to study Ramanujan expansions…
In this article we continue a previous work in which we have generalized the Rogers Ramanujan continued fraction (RR) introducing what we call, the Ramanujan-Quantities (RQ). We use the Mathematica package to give several modular equations…

In this paper, we obtain analytical evaluations of the Ramanujan integral \[\textbf{R}_{C}(m,n)= \int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{x^m\,\cos(\pi nx)}{\exp{(2\pi\sqrt{x})-1}}dx\] subject to suitable convergence conditions in terms of an infinite series…
We study the modularity of the functions of the form $r(\tau)^ar(2\tau)^b$, where $a$ and $b$ are integers with $(a,b)\neq (0,0)$ and $r(\tau)$ is the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction, which may be considered as companions to the…
We study Ramanujan's cubic continued fraction and explicit evaluations of theta-functions
In this paper we show that various continued fractions for the quotient of general Ramanujan functions $G(aq,b,\l q)/G(a,b,\l)$ may be derived from each other via Bauer-Muir transformations. The separate convergence of numerators and…
The two Rogers-Ramanujan $q$-series \[ \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{q^{n(n+\sigma)}}{(1-q)\cdots (1-q^n)}, \] where $\sigma=0,1$, play many roles in mathematics and physics. By the Rogers-Ramanujan identities, they are essentially modular…

Infinite series are evaluated through the manipulation of a series for $\cos(2t \sin^{-1}x)$ resulting from Clausen's Product. Hypergeometric series equal to an expression involving $\frac{1} {\pi}$ are determined. Techniques to evaluate…
A new class of integrals involving the confluent hypergeometric function ${}_1F_{1}(a;c;z)$ and the Riemann $\Xi$-function is considered. It generalizes a class containing some integrals of S. Ramanujan, G.H. Hardy and W.L. Ferrar and gives…

We record $$ \binom{42}2+\binom{23}2+\binom{13}2=1192 $$ functional identities that, apart from being amazingly amusing by themselves, find applications in derivation of Ramanujan-type formulas for $1/\pi$ and in computation of mathematical…
