Abstract

Several formulas for Ramanujan’s function τ \tau , defined by \[ x ∏ 1 ∞ ( 1 − x n ) 24 = ∑ 1 ∞ τ ( n ) x n ( | x | > 1 ) , x \prod _1^{\infty }(1-x^n)^{24}=\sum _1^{\infty } \tau (n) x^n \quad (\vert x \vert > 1), \] are presented. We also present a congruence modulo 3 for some of the function values.
