Abstract We study the modularity of Ramanujan’s function k ( τ ) = r ( τ ) r 2 ( 2 τ ) k(\tau )=r(\tau ){r}^{2}(2\tau ) , where r ( τ ) r(\tau ) is the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction. We first find the modular equation of k ( τ ) k(\tau ) of “an” level, and we obtain some symmetry relations and some congruence relations which are satisfied by the modular equations; these relations are quite useful for reduction of the computation cost for finding the modular equations. We also show that for some τ \tau in an imaginary quadratic field, the value k ( τ ) k(\tau ) generates the ray class field over an imaginary quadratic field modulo 10; this is because the function k is a generator of the field of the modular function on Γ 1 ( 10 ) {{\mathrm{\Gamma}}}_{1}(10) . Furthermore, we suggest a rather optimal way of evaluating the singular values of k ( τ ) k(\tau ) using the modular equations in the following two ways: one is that if j ( τ ) j(\tau ) is the elliptic modular function, then one can explicitly evaluate the value k ( τ ) k(\tau ) , and the other is that once the value k ( τ ) k(\tau ) is given, we can obtain the value k ( r τ ) k(r\tau ) for any positive rational number r immediately.

1. As Hecke showed, every L-function of an imaginary quadratic field K with a Grössen-character γ is the Mellin transform of a cusp form f(z) belonging to a certain congruence subgroup Γ of SL2(Z). We can normalize γ so that

In this paper we establish a Chowla–Selberg formula for abelian CM fields. This is an identity which relates values of a Hilbert modular function at CM points to values of Euler’s gamma function ${\rm\Gamma}$ and an analogous function ${\rm\Gamma}_{2}$ at rational numbers. We combine this identity with work of Colmez to relate the CM values of the Hilbert modular function to Faltings heights of CM abelian varieties. We also give explicit formulas for products of exponentials of Faltings heights, allowing us to study some of their arithmetic properties using the Lang–Rohrlich conjecture.

The purpose of this article is to construct families of elliptic curves E over finite fields F so that the groups of F-rational points of E are cyclic, by using a representation of the modular invariant function by a generator of a modular function field associated with the modular group Γ0(N), where N = 5, 7 or 13.
