In this paper, we explicitly evaluate certain special values of [Formula: see text] hypergeometric series. These evaluations are based on some summation transformation formulas of Gaussian hypergeometric series. We find expressions of the number of points on certain algebraic curves over [Formula: see text] in terms of Gaussian hypergeometric series, which play the vital role in deducing the transformation results.

Let λ ∈ ℚ\{0, -1} and l ≥ 2. Denote by Cl, λ the nonsingular projective algebraic curve over ℚ with affine equation given by [Formula: see text] In this paper, we give a relation between the number of points on Cl, λ over a finite field and Gaussian hypergeometric series. We also give an alternate proof of a result of [D. McCarthy, 3F2 Hypergeometric series and periods of elliptic curves, Int. J. Number Theory6(3) (2010) 461–470]. We find some special values of 3F2 and 2F1 Gaussian hypergeometric series. Finally we evaluate the value of 3F2(4) which extends a result of [K. Ono, Values of Gaussian hypergeometric series, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc.350(3) (1998) 1205–1223].

Several authors [1, 5, 9] have investigated the algebraic and transcendental values of the Gaussian hypergeometric series(formula here)for rational parameters a, b, c and algebraic and rational values of z ∈ (0, 1). This led to several new identities such as(formula here)and(formula here)where Γ(x) denotes the gamma function. It was pointed out by the present authors [6] that these results, and others like it, could be derived simply by combining certain classical F transformation formulae with the singular values of the complete elliptic integral of the first kind K(k), where k denotes the modulus.Here, we pursue the methods used in [6] to produce further examples of the type (1·2) and (1·3). Thus, we find the following results:(formula here)The result (1·6) is of particular interest because the argument and value of the F function are both rational.

For d ≥ 2, denote by Pd(x) the polynomial over 𝔽q given by [Formula: see text]. We explicitly find the number of solutions in 𝔽q of the polynomial equation Pd(x) = 0 in terms of special values of dFd-1 and d-1Fd-2 Gaussian hypergeometric series with characters of orders d and d - 1 as parameters. This solves a problem posed by K. Ono (see p. 204 in [Web of Modularity : Arithmetic of the Coefficients of Modular Forms and q-Series, CBMS Regional Conference Series in Mathematics, No. 102 (American Mathematical Society, Providence, RI, 2004)]) on special values of n+1Fn Gaussian hypergeometric series for n > 2.

ZuckerWheatstone Physics Laboratory, King's College, Strand, London WC2R 2LSThe editor regrets that the errors listed below appeared in this paperp. 259, Table 1. In the last line π−1/21 should read π−1/2.p. 260. The k in equation (22) should be k.p. 261. The expression (am2 + bmn + cn2)−s should be (am2 + bmn + cn2)−s in reference[11].
