Abstract A general theorem is stated that unifies 93 rational Ramanujan-type series for 1/π, 40 of which are believed to be new. Moreover, each series is shown to have a companion identity, thereby giving another 93 series, the majority of which are new.

Proof of a rational Ramanujan-type series for 1/π. The fastest one in level 3
Using a modular equation of level $3$ and degree $23$ due to Chan and Liaw, we prove the fastest convergent rational Ramanujan-type series for $1/\pi$ of level $3$.
Level 16 analogue of Ramanujan's theories of elliptic functions to alternative bases
Abstract The analogous theory for level 16 of Ramanujan's theories of elliptic functions to alternative bases is developed by studying the level 16 modular function h ( q ) = q ∏ j = 1 ∞ ( 1 − q 16 jExpand
Ramanujan-type formulae for $1/\pi$: The art of translation

We outline an elementary method for proving numerical hypergeometric identities, in particular, Ramanujan-type identities for $1/\pi$. The principal idea is using algebraic transformations ofExpand
Level 14 and 15 analogues of Ramanujan’s elliptic functions to alternative bases
• Mathematics
• 2015
We briefly review Ramanujan’s theories of elliptic functions to alternative bases, describe their analogues for levels 5 and 7, and develop new theories for levels 14 and 15. This gives rise to aExpand

Abstract The theory of theta functions is used to derive hypergeometric transformation formulas of degrees 3, 7, 11 and 23. As a consequence of the theory that is developed, some new series for 1 / πExpand
Special Hypergeometric Motives and Their L-Functions: Asai Recognition
• Mathematics, Physics
• 2019
We recognize certain special hypergeometric motives, related to and inspired by the discoveries of Ramanujan more than a century ago, as arising from Asai $L$-functions of Hilbert modular forms.

In this article, we derive a sequence of numbers which converge to 1/π. We will also derive a new series for 1/π. These new results are motivated by the study of Ramanujan’s cubic continued fraction.
A simple proof of an identity of Ramanujan
One of Ramanujan's unpublished, unproven identities has excited considerable interest over the years. Indeed, no fewer than four proofs have appeared in the literature. The object of this note is toExpand
