Abstract

The main aim of this paper is to provide two new proofs of Ramanujan's cubic transformation formula for 2F1(1/3, 2/3; 1; z) (see (1·8) below). For our first proof, we have to develop Ramanujan's elliptic functions in the theory of signature 3 using a different approach from that given in a recent paper by Berndt, Bhargava and Garvan. For our second proof, we use two of Goursat's formulas.
