Abstract: We study various relations governing quasi-automorphic forms associated to discrete subgroups of mSL(2,mathbbR) called Hecke groups. We show that the Eisenstein series associated to a Hecke group mH(m) satisfy a set of m coupled linear differential equations, which are natural analogues of the well-known Ramanujan identities for quasi-modular forms of mSL(2,mathbbZ). Each Hecke group is then associated to a (hyper-)elliptic curve, whose coefficients are determined by an anomaly equation. For the m=3 and 4 cases, the Ramanujan identities admit a natural geometric interpretation as a Gauss-Manin connection on the parameter space of the elliptic curve. The Ramanujan identities also allow us to associate a nonlinear differential equation of order m to each Hecke group. These equations are higher-order analogues of the Chazy equation, and we show that they are solved by the quasi-automorphic Eisenstein series E2(m) associated to mH(m) and its orbit under the Hecke group. We conclude by demonstrating that these nonlinear equations possess the Painlev'e property.
