Abstract
Let λ ∈ ℚ\{0, -1} and l ≥ 2. Denote by Cl, λ the nonsingular projective algebraic curve over ℚ with affine equation given by [Formula: see text] In this paper, we give a relation between the number of points on Cl, λ over a finite field and Gaussian hypergeometric series. We also give an alternate proof of a result of [D. McCarthy, 3F2 Hypergeometric series and periods of elliptic curves, Int. J. Number Theory6(3) (2010) 461–470]. We find some special values of 3F2 and 2F1 Gaussian hypergeometric series. Finally we evaluate the value of 3F2(4) which extends a result of [K. Ono, Values of Gaussian hypergeometric series, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc.350(3) (1998) 1205–1223].
