Since then, identities of similar nature have been discovered by many authors. Nowadays, one of the standard approaches to this kind of identities uses the theory of modular curves. In this paper, we will consider the case of Shimura curves and obtain Ramanujan-type formulas involving special values of hypergeometric functions and products of Gamma values. The product of Gamma values are related to periods of elliptic curves with complex multiplication by Q(\\sqrt{-3}) and Q(\\sqrt{-4}).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-03-25T16:11:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11F12", "11Y60" ], "keywords": [ "shimura curves", "ramanujan-type identities", "hypergeometric functions", "gamma values", "ramanujan gave" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 23, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1301.3344Y" } } }
