Abstract

Let k be an imaginary quadratic field, h-fraktur sign the complex upper half plane, and let τ ∈ h-fraktur sign ∩ k, p = e πiτ. In this article, using the infinite product formulas for g2 and g3, we prove that values of certain infinite products are transcendental whenever τ are imaginary quadratic. And we derive analogous results of Berndt-Chan-Zhang ([4]). Also we find the values of Πn=1(1-p2n-1/1+p2n-1) 8 and pΠn=1(1 + p2n) 12 when we know j(τ). And we construct an elliptic curve E : y2 = x3 + 3x2 + (3 - j/256)x + 1 with j = j(τ) ≠ 0 and P = (162p2Πn=1 (1 + p2n)24, 0) ∈ E.
