Abstract:
In his Lost Notebook, Ramanujan claimed that the ``circular'' summation of the -th powers of the symmetric theta function satisfies a factorization of the form . Moreover, Ramanujan recorded identities expressing , , , , and in terms of his theta functions , , and . Ramanujan's claims were proved by Rangachari, and later (via elementary methods) by Son. In this paper we obtain similar identities for , , , and .
