Transformation laws for generalized Dedekind sums associated to Fuchsian groups

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...

fixed point property for banach algebras associated to locally compact groups

در این پایان نامه به بررسی خاصیت نقطه ثابت و خاصیت نقطه ثابت برای نیم گروههای برگشت پذیر چپ روی بعضی جبرهای باناخ از جمله جبر فوریه و جبر فوریه استیلتیس پرداخته شده است. برای مثال بیان شده است که اگر گروه یک گروه فشرده موضعی با همسایگی فشرده برای عنصر همانی که تحت درونریختی ها پایاست باشد آنگاه جبر فوریه و جبر فوریه استیلتیس دارای خاصیت نقطه ثابت برای نیم گروه های برگشت پذیر چپ است اگر و تنها ا...

The Elliptic Apostol-dedekind Sums Generate Odd Dedekind Symbols with Laurent Polynomial Reciprocity Laws

Abstract. Dedekind symbols are generalizations of the classical Dedekind sums (symbols). There is a natural isomorphism between the space of Dedekind symbols with Laurent polynomial reciprocity laws and the space of modular forms. We will define a new elliptic analogue of the Apostol-Dedekind sums. Then we will show that the newly defined sums generate all odd Dedekind symbols with Laurent poly...

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...
