ISRN Computational Mathematics of Ramanujan s class invariants and applications can be found in Berndt s book [5] For further references see [6 1] Ramanujan and Weber independently and many others in the literature calculated class invariants G n for odd values of n and g n for even values of n For the first time i [13] calculated some values of g n for odd values of n by finding explicit values of the parameter r kn see [13 page 11 11] or [1 page 111] defined by r kn := f q k 1/ q k 1/ f q k q = n/k e π 8 In particular she established the result [13 page 18 Theorem 3] g n = r n/ 9 However the values of G n for even values of n have not been calculated The main objective of this paper is to evaluate some new values of G n for even values of n We also prove some known values of G n For evaluation of class invariant G n in this paper we introduce the parameter I kn whichis defined as I kn := χ q q k1/ χ q k q = n/k e π 10 k and n are positive real numbers In Section 3 westudysomepropertiesofi kn and also establish its relations with Ramanujan s class invariant G n In Section by employing Ramanujan s modular equations we present some general theorems for the explicit evaluations of I kn and find several explicit values of I kn InSection 5 we establish some general theorems connecting the parameter I kn and the class invariant G n We also evaluate some explicit values of the product G nk G n/k by employing some values of I kn evaluated in Section Finally in Section 6 wecalculate new and known values of class invariant G n by combining the explicit values of I kn and the product G nk G n/k evaluated in Sections and 5 respectivelysection is devoted to record some preliminary results Since Ramanujan s modular equations are key in our evaluations of I kn and G n we complete this introduction by defining Ramanujan s modular equation from Berndt s book [] The complete elliptic integral of the first kind Kk is defined by π/ Kk : = 0 dφ 1 k sin φ = π n=0 = π F 1 1 1 ;1;k 1/ n n! kn 11 0 < k < 1 F 1 denotes the ordinary or Gaussian hypergeometric function and a n = aa 1a a n 1 1 The number k is called the modulus of Kandk := 1 k is called the complementary modulus Let K K L and L denote the complete elliptic integrals of the first kind associated with the moduli k k l and l respectively Suppose that the equality n K K = L 13 L holds for some positive integer n Then a modular equation of degree n is a relation between the moduli k and lwhichis implied by 13 If we set q = exp π K q = exp K π L L 1 we see that 13 is equivalent to the relation q n = q Thus a modular equation can be viewed as an identity involving theta-functions at the arguments q and q n Ramanujan recorded his modular equations in terms of α and β α = k and β = l We say that β has degree n over α The multiplier m connecting α and β is defined by m = K L 15 Ramanujan also established many mixed modular equations in which four distinct moduli appear which we define from Berndt s book [ page 35] Let K K L 1 L 1 L L L 3 andl 3 denote complete elliptic integrals of the first kind corresponding in pairs to the moduli α β γand δ and their complementary moduli respectively Let n 1 n andn 3 be positive integers such that n 3 = n 1 n Suppose that the equalities n 1 K K = L 1 L 1 n K K = L L n 3 K K = L 3 L 3 16 hold Then a mixed modular equation is a relation between the moduli α β γand δ that is induced by 16 In such an instance we say that β γandδ are of degrees n 1 n andn 3 respectivelyoverα or α β γ andδ have degrees 1 n 1 n andn 3 respectively Denoting z r = φ q r q = exp πk φ q = f q q K q < 1 17 the multipliers m and m associated with α β andγ δ respectively are defined by m = z 1 /z n1 and m = z n /z n3 Preliminary Results Lemma 1 see [ page 3 Entry 7v] If α and β are such that the modulus of each exponential argument is less than 1 and αβ = π then e α/ χe α = e β/ χ e β 18
