We prove two identities for Ramanujanrsquos cubic continued fraction and a continued fraction of Ramanujan which are analogues ofRamanujanrsquos identities for the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction We further derive Eisenstein series identities associated withRamanujanrsquos cubic continued fraction and Ramanujanrsquos continued fraction of order six

Srinivasa Ramanujan made some significant contributionsto the theory of continued fraction expansions The mostbeautiful continued fraction expansions can be found inChapters 12 and 16 of his second notebook [1]
The celebrated Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction isdefined by [2]
119877 (119902) = 11990215
119891 (minus119902 minus1199024)

ramifications of 119877(119902)which can be found in his notebooks [1]and ldquolost notebookrdquo [3] Recently Liu [4] and Chan et al [5]have established several new identities associated with theRogers-Ramanujan continued fraction 119877(119902) including Eisen-stein series identities involving 119877(119902)
The beautiful Ramanujanrsquos cubic continued fraction119866(119902)first introduced by Srinivasa Ramanujan in his second letterto Hardy [2 page xxvii] is defined by

Adiga et al [6] Bhargava et al [7] Chan [8] and Vasukiet al [9] have proved several elegant theorems for119866(119902) manyof which are analogues of well-known properties satisfied bythe Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction
Recently Vasuki et al [10] have studied the followingcontinued fraction of order six
119883(119902) = 11990214

The continued fraction (5) is a special case of a fascinatingcontinued fraction identity recorded by Ramanujan in hissecond notebook [1] [11 page 24] Furthermore they haveestablished modular relations between the continued frac-tions119883(119902) and119883(119902119899) for 119899 = 2 3 5 7 and 11
In Section 3 of this paper we establish two new identitiesassociated with the continued fractions 119866(119902) and 119883(119902)using the quintuple product identity In Section 4 we deriveEisenstein series identities associated with 119866(119902) and119883(119902)
2 Definitions and Preliminary Results
In this section we present some basic definitions and pre-liminary results One of the most interesting special cases of119891(119886 119887) is [11 Entry 22]

Note that the Dedekind eta function 120578(120591) = 119902124
119891(minus119902)where 119902 = 119890
2120587119894120591 Im 120591 gt 0 We need the following threelemmas to prove our main results
Lemma 1 (see [11 Entry 30 page 46]) One has
119891 (119886 119887) + 119891 (minus119886 minus119887) = 2119891 (1198863119887 1198861198873) (7)
Lemma 2 (see [11 page 80]) One has
119891(11986131199021199025
1198613) minus 119861
2119891(
119902

2 minus11990221198612)
119891 (119861119902 119902119861)
(8)
Lemma 3 (see [12 Lemma 2(ii)]) Let 119898 = [119904(119904 minus 119903)] 119897 =119898(119904minus119903)minus119903 119896 = minus119898(119904minus119903)+119904 and ℎ = 119898119903minus(119898(119898minus1)(119904minus119903))20 le 119903 lt 119904 Here [119909] denotes the largest integer less than or equalto 119909 Then
(i) 119891(119902minus119903 119902119904) = 119902minusℎ119891(119902119897 119902119896)
(ii) 119891(minus119902minus119903 minus119902119904) = (minus1)119898119902minusℎ119891(minus119902119897 minus119902119896)

In Ramanujanrsquos notation the Jacobi triple product identitytakes the form

The Jacobi triple product identity was first proved by Gauss[13] Using (3) we have

Putting 119886 = minus1198902119894119911 and 119887 = minus119902119890minus2119894119911 in (10) we obtain
119891 (minus1198902119894119911 minus119902119890minus2119894119911

Putting 119911 = 1205876 and 119911 = 21205876 respectively in (12) we obtain

Multiplying (13) and (14) together and using the identities

in the resulting equation and then after some simplificationswe obtain the following identity

Adiga et al [6] Bhargava et al [7] Chan [8] and Vasukiet al [9] have proved several elegant theorems for119866(119902) manyof which are analogues of well-known properties satisfied bythe Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction

The continued fraction (5) is a special case of a fascinatingcontinued fraction identity recorded by Ramanujan in hissecond notebook [1] [11 page 24] Furthermore they haveestablished modular relations between the continued frac-tions119883(119902) and119883(119902119899) for 119899 = 2 3 5 7 and 11
In Section 3 of this paper we establish two new identitiesassociated with the continued fractions 119866(119902) and 119883(119902)using the quintuple product identity In Section 4 we deriveEisenstein series identities associated with 119866(119902) and119883(119902)
2 Definitions and Preliminary Results
In this section we present some basic definitions and pre-liminary results One of the most interesting special cases of119891(119886 119887) is [11 Entry 22]

Note that the Dedekind eta function 120578(120591) = 119902124
119891(minus119902)where 119902 = 119890
2120587119894120591 Im 120591 gt 0 We need the following threelemmas to prove our main results
Lemma 1 (see [11 Entry 30 page 46]) One has
119891 (119886 119887) + 119891 (minus119886 minus119887) = 2119891 (1198863119887 1198861198873) (7)
Lemma 2 (see [11 page 80]) One has
119891(11986131199021199025
1198613) minus 119861
2119891(
119902

119891 (119861119902 119902119861)
(8)
Lemma 3 (see [12 Lemma 2(ii)]) Let 119898 = [119904(119904 minus 119903)] 119897 =119898(119904minus119903)minus119903 119896 = minus119898(119904minus119903)+119904 and ℎ = 119898119903minus(119898(119898minus1)(119904minus119903))20 le 119903 lt 119904 Here [119909] denotes the largest integer less than or equalto 119909 Then
(i) 119891(119902minus119903 119902119904) = 119902minusℎ119891(119902119897 119902119896)

In Ramanujanrsquos notation the Jacobi triple product identitytakes the form

The Jacobi triple product identity was first proved by Gauss[13] Using (3) we have

Putting 119886 = minus1198902119894119911 and 119887 = minus119902119890minus2119894119911 in (10) we obtain
119891 (minus1198902119894119911 minus119902119890minus2119894119911

Putting 119911 = 1205876 and 119911 = 21205876 respectively in (12) we obtain

Multiplying (13) and (14) together and using the identities

in the resulting equation and then after some simplificationswe obtain the following identity

Now by direct computations we find that

In the quintuple product identity (8) replacing 119902 by 1199026 andthen setting 119861 = 119902 we find that

Then

Multiplying the above two equations together and then using(16) in resulting identity we find thatinfin

(1 + 120572119902119899+ 1199022119899) (1 + 120573119902

Subtracting (22) from (21) we obtaininfin

Using (11) in (24) we deduce thatinfin

(26)
Now by direct computations we find that
119875 (6119898 + 0) = 0 119875 (6119898 + 1) = 2
119875 (6119898 + 2) = 2 119875 (6119898 + 3) = minus2
119875 (6119898 + 4) = minus 2 119875 (6119898 + 5) = 0

In the quintuple product identity (8) replacing 119902 by 1199026 andthen setting 119861 = 119902 we find that

Combining (25) (30) and (31) we find that

Now using the above equation in the right-hand side of(33) and then changing 119902 to 11990212 throughout we obtain (17)Equation (18) follows from the following identity

As the proof of this lemma is similar to that of Lemma 1 in[4] we omit the details
Using (45) we derive the following Eisenstein seriesidentity

Using Lemma 3 in (48) we complete the proof ofTheorem 8
We use (sdot119901) to denote the Legendre symbol modulo119901 Setting 119911 = 1205873 in (45) and noting that sin (21198991205873) =

As the proof of this lemma is similar to that of Lemma 1 in[4] we omit the details
Using (45) we derive the following Eisenstein seriesidentity

Proof Dividing both sides of (45) by 119911 and then letting 119911 rarr

Using Lemma 3 in (48) we complete the proof ofTheorem 8
We use (sdot119901) to denote the Legendre symbol modulo119901 Setting 119911 = 1205873 in (45) and noting that sin (21198991205873) =

Proof For simplicity we use119865(119911 119902) to denote the logarithmicderivative of 11989411990218119890minus119894119911119891(minus1198902119894119911 minus119902119890minus2119894119911) with respect to 119911 Toprove this lemma we need the following identity which canbe found in [14 Theorem 5] [15 Corollary 2]
119865 (1199111 119902) + 119865 (119911
2 119902) + 119865 (119911

As the proof of this lemma is similar to that of Lemma 1 in[4] we omit the details
Using (45) we derive the following Eisenstein seriesidentity
Theorem 8 Let |119902| lt 1 Then
infin
sum119899=1
119899 (119902119899minus 1199022119899minus 1199024119899+ 1199025119899)
1 minus 1199026119899
=1205786(3120591)
1205782 (120591)119866 (119902) =
1205784(3120591) 120578 (6120591) 120578 (2120591)
1205782 (120591)119883 (119902)
(47)
Proof Dividing both sides of (45) by 119911 and then letting 119911 rarr
0 we obtain

119899 (119902119899minus 1199022119899minus 1199024119899+ 1199025119899)

(48)
Using Lemma 3 in (48) we complete the proof ofTheorem 8
We use (sdot119901) to denote the Legendre symbol modulo119901 Setting 119911 = 1205873 in (45) and noting that sin (21198991205873) =
(radic32)(1198993) we find that
