Modularity of certain products of the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction
Let \(r(\tau)=\frac{q^{1/5}}{1+}\frac{q}{1+}\frac{q^2}{1+\cdots}\) be the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction, where \(q=e^{2\pi i \tau}\) and \(\tau\) is a variable on the complex upper half plane \(\mathbb H\). \textit{Y. Lee} and \textit{Y. K. Park} [Open Math. 18, 1727--1741 (2020; Zbl 1484.11109)] showed that the Ramanujan's function \(k(\tau)=r(\tau)r(2\tau)^2\) generates the modular function field \(A(10)\) on the modular group \(\Gamma_1(10)\), and proved that \(k(\tau_0)\) generates the ray class field \(K_{(10)}\) modulo \(10\) over \(K\) if \(\tau_0\in\mathbb H\) such that \(\mathbb Z[\tau_0]\) is the ring of integers of an imaginary quadratic field \(K\), and also computed exact values of \(k(\tau)\) at some imaginary quadratic points \(\tau\). In this article, the author extends these results to the functions \(r(\tau)^a r(2\tau)^b\) for integers \(a\) and \(b\). Let \(\eta_{N,g}(\tau)\) be the generalized eta function. By the fact that \(r(\tau)=\eta_{5,1}(\tau)/\eta_{5,2}(\tau)\), he shows that for \(a,b\) such that \(a\equiv 3b \mod 5\), \(r(\tau)^a r(2\tau)^b\in A(10)\) and among those functions there are only two functions \(k(\tau),l(\tau)=r(\tau)^{-2}r(2\tau)\), up to taking reciprocals, such that it generates \(A(10)\). Further the function \(l(\tau)-1/l(\tau)\) generates the modular function field on \(\Gamma_0(10)\). The author computes the modular equations for \(l(\tau)\) of level two and five, and studies the properties of the modular equation of level \(n\) for \(n\) coprime to \(10\). Let \(\tau_0\) be as above. Then \(l(\tau_0)\) generates \(K(10)\). By representing \(j(\tau)\) as a rational function of \(l(\tau)\), he computes values of \(l(\tau)\) at some imaginary quadratic points.
