Abstract

A new connection between geometric function theory and number theory is derived from Ramanujan's work on modular equations. This connection involves the function $φ_K(r)$ recurrent in the theory of plane quasiconformal maps. Ramanujan's modular identities yield numerous new functional identities for $φ_{1/p}(r)$ for various primes p.
