#### Abstract

Let k be an imaginary quadratic field, ${\eta}$ the complex upper half plane, and let ${\tau}{\in}{\eta}{\cap}k,\;q=e^{{\pi}{i}{\tau}}$. For n, t ${\in}{\mathbb{Z}}^+$ with $1{\leq}t{\leq}n-1$, set n=${\delta}{\cdot}2^{\iota}$(${\delta}$=2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 13, 15) with ${\iota}{\geq}0$ integer. Then we show that $q{\frac}{n}{12}-{\frac}{t}{2}+{\frac}{t^2}{2n}{\prod}_{m=1}^{\infty}(1-q^{nm-t})(1-q^{{nm}-(n-t)})$ are algebraic numbers.
