Dedekind Sums and Lambert Series

Higher Dimensional Dedekind Sums

In this paper we will study the number-theoretical properties of the expression v1 nkal rcka,, d(p; a I . . . . . an) = ( 1) n/2 ~ cot cot (1) k=l P P and of related finite trigonometric sums. In Eq. (I), p is a positive integer, a~ . . . . . a, are integers prime to p, and n is even (for n odd the sum is clearly equal to zero). There are two reasons for being interested in sums of this type. F...

Dedekind Cotangent Sums

Let a, a1, . . . , ad be positive integers, m1, . . . ,md nonnegative integers, and z1, . . . , zd complex numbers. We study expressions of the form ∑

A hybrid mean value involving a new Gauss sums and Dedekind sums

‎In this paper‎, ‎we introduce a new sum‎ ‎analogous to Gauss sum‎, ‎then we use the properties of the‎ ‎classical Gauss sums and analytic method to study the hybrid mean‎ ‎value problem involving this new sums and Dedekind sums‎, ‎and‎ ‎give an interesting identity for it.

Generating functions and generalized Dedekind sums

We study sums of the form ∑ ζ R(ζ), where R is a rational function and the sum is over all nth roots of unity ζ (often with ζ = 1 excluded). We call these generalized Dedekind sums, since the most well-known sums of this form are Dedekind sums. We discuss three methods for evaluating such sums: The method of factorization applies if we have an explicit formula for ∏ ζ(1− xR(ζ)). Multisection ca...
