چکیده

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. First of all, the case n = 2 is, up to a factor, the classical Dedekind sum:

HIGHER-DIMENSIONAL DEDEKIND SUMS AND THEIR BOUNDS ARISING FROM THE DISCRETE DIAGONAL OF THE n-CUBE

We define a combinatorial game in R from which we derive numerous new inequalities between higher-dimensional Dedekind sums. Our approach is motivated by a recent article by Dilcher and Girstmair, who gave a nice probabilistic interpretation for the classical Dedekind sum. Here we introduce a game analogous to Dilcher and Girstmair’s model in higher dimensions.

Dedekind Sums and Values of L-functions at Positive Integers

In this paper, we study Dedekind sums and we connect them to the mean values of Dirichlet L-functions. For this, we introduce and investigate higher order dimensional Dedekind-Rademacher sums given by the expression Sd( −→ a0 , −→ m0) = 1 a0 0 a0−1 ∑

Dedekind sums : a combinatorial - geometric viewpoint Matthias Beck and Sinai Robins

The literature on Dedekind sums is vast. In this expository paper we show that there is a common thread to many generalizations of Dedekind sums, namely through the study of lattice point enumeration of rational poly-topes. In particular, there are some natural finite Fourier series which we call Fourier-Dedekind sums, and which form the building blocks of the number of partitions of an integer...

Evaluation of Dedekind Sums, Eisenstein Cocycles, and Special Values of L-functions

We define certain higher-dimensional Dedekind sums that generalize the classical Dedekind-Rademacher sums, and show how to compute them effectively using a generalization of the continued-fraction algorithm. We present two applications. First, we show how to express special values of partial zeta functions associated to totally real number fields in terms of these sums via the Eisenstein cocycl...
